LONDON - Visual artist Hugo Dalton contends that Mother Nature is a Dominatrix, not a benevolent figure, through a new exhibition of sculptural installations and wall drawings based on cave-paintings at Lascaux.
Dalton’s site-specific drawings at Crisis’s Bermondsey Project Space will use imagery associated with Bondage, Domination, Sadism and Masochism to evoke humankind’s ancient, complex and increasingly fetishised relationship with Mother Nature - source of shelter, sustenance, pleasure and pain. The exhibition is curated by Edward Lucie-Smith and will feature a sound work by composer James Dooley.
The Bermondsey Project Space is an art gallery, studio facility and creative centre established in a former warehouse by Crisis, the UK’s national charity for single homeless people, in partnership with Bow Arts. The Bermondsey Project Space offers affordable studios to 60 artists, including some of London's most talented professional artists, as well as homeless and ex-homeless artists. The Space also provides training and work experience opportunities for Crisis members.
From 2012, The Bermondsey Project Space will expand to combine creative workshop, training and start-up spaces for Crisis members, 100 artist studios and 10,000 sq ft of gallery and project spaces that will showcase innovative new work from resident and established artists through a programme largely curated by the writer, Edward Lucie-Smith.
Hugo Dalton graduated from Goldsmiths College in 2002 with 1st Class honours in Fine Art and Art History. He has an international reputation that covers a number of artistic disciplines. His first solo exhibition took place with the Fine Art Society, London in 2008.
In 2010 he was commissioned to create a 26-meter long canvas for the Royal Horticultural Society, also a stage set for Sadlers Wells. His first major museum show was at the Today Art Museum, Beijing in 2011. In addition, he has recently completed a mural work that encompasses an entire floor of Barney’s department store on Madison Avenue, New York.
