Group exhibition curated by Ken Pratt at the Vegas Gallery 27 Mar - 20 Apr

Exhibition Description:

Curated by Ken Pratt, this group show examines the works of an unconnected handful of contemporary artists in relation to the legacy of the Decadents. The artists have drawn their inspiration from or evoke literary sources –or sensibilities- such as Huysmans, Comte de Lautreamont or Baudelaire. Or, they may have alluded to the work of visual artists such as Gustave Moreau, Félicien Rops, Aubrey Beardsley and Ernest Dowson. The exhibition poses no unifying hypothesis nor postulates any reason for this fascination, intentional or otherwise, merely tracing the forms and mapping out the residues. The image above is with credit to the artist, Geraldine Gliubislavich, oil on canvas, untitled 2007.
