2003-03-23 until 2003-05-03
Stalke Gallery
Copenhagen, , DK Denmark

At Stalke Gallery they have never tried to conceal their great passion for works on paper and with this second show in their new space at Vesterbrogade 184, which is titled Works on Paper – Dame Darcy, Neil Farber, Marcel Dzama and Jacquelyn Tough the gallery will continue their long tradition of exhibiting art on paper.

The four artists in the show have been chosen by gallery director Richard Heller from California. Besides the medium, the four artists share a combination of distorted pop sensibility and a dreaming, often nightmarish imagination. The illustrator, doll crafter, musician and painter Dame Darcy has created the comic book series ”Meat Cake”, which is a collection of ”frightful fairytales” as she herself puts it. For this show she will exhibit original drawings from ”Meat Cake”. Neil Farber and Marcel Dzama are both part of the ”The Royal Art Lodge” based in Winnipeg, Canada, and have exhibited their elegant and yet mysterious small scale drawings internationally. In their choice of motives such as Superheroes, bears, birds, vixens and half-human creatures the two share as common interest, but at same time both Farber and Dzama comes forth with a unique line. Jacquelyn Tough works with watercolor drawings that explore the childhood as a place and a time filled by myths and fantasies, which continues to influence you after you have become an adult.
