Matthew Draper "The Lodger"
Theodore:Art
This event has ended.
Stephanie Theodore presents an exhibition of work by London-based artist Matthew Draper. This will be Draper's first solo exhibition in the United States.
Matthew Draper creates tableaux of of quiet uncanny. Otherwise normal domestic interiors and objects are depicted from strange perspectives; these slight shifts and disorientations reveal hidden terrors and eccentricities. A kitchen viewed from above is transformed into a labyrinth’s dead-end; a suitcase’s contents cascade into a Busby-Berkley-esque fan. Long-forgotten fears resurge and long-established certainties break down in a confrontation with everyday realities that have inexplicably acquired a surreal aspect or intensity.
