Interpretting the Interpretation.
I might call this Spooks. It reminds me of those shows or cartoons when we were young where the scary figure’s shadow was creeping up behind. I know very little about art except perhaps what I like and what I don’t like. Maybe I am an art cretin! But I do know all art, whatever is an interpretation by the artist of something. And in a way, that’s what the whole work that this is a part of is about.
Of the not dissimilar pieces in this particular work by Francis Upritchard, this one is called “Run”. It is one of five figures in the one complex work.
“The whole exhibition is called “Setting the Stage” which brings together a selection of works from the (GOMA*) Collection that reflect the different ways artists have drawn on the theatrical convention of the stage and its implied audience.......
Told across the media of film, video, art, photography, painting and sculpture, “Setting the Stage” elaborates on and highlights the power and versatility offered by artificial environments through works that illustrate their potential as conduits for ideas about language, identity and culture”. That’s a snippet from the full statement about the full exhibit by the Queensland Gallery of Modern Art, I could never have made that up! But, interpretation I believe and I have used that in my little contribution to the species!
