FROLIC
Assembly Gallery/Redchurch Cafe March 4 - March 31
Opening reception Saturday March 4, 1-4pm
In his new work Altena redeploys elements and motifs from pattern and decoration, wallpaper and textile samples to create a landscape for our own revelry.
Employing paintings and drawings, new and old, reconstructed and recycled, he creates a dappled forest glade ripe for a frolic. Layered fragments of paintings and coloured pencil drawings are suspended with ribbon and twine to evoke an atmosphere of delight and wistfulness. Sentiment and nostalgia, memory and dreams, pleasure and enchantment, decadence and innocence, commingle to blossom into a safe space for your tender
feelings.
