About event
SAVE THE DATE!
I’m thrilled to announce my upcoming solo show ST. ELMO’s FIRE!
OPENING Friday, Sept 19th: 6-10 p.m.
Sat 20th & Sun 21st: open from 12 a.m.-6 p.m.
The show will take place in the beautiful dungeons of GIDAK in Berlin-Mitte, also known as GLUE.
ST. ELMO’S FIRE brings together work from the last two years - a period that is characterised by my further slippage into the uncertain waters of superstition. The work continues to deal with themes of apocalypse, vertigo and surrender, focalised through the perspective of an anonymous sailor who wishes he’d stayed in bed that day. If ships crashing into each other at the end of the world is your kind of thing, I strongly suggest you come join me for a drink on the 19th of September!��The title refers to the blue, luminous plasma that is observed by sailors during thunderstorms or volcanic eruptions, emanating from the ship’s masts. The phenomenon has been explained as both a good and bad omen over the centuries, instilling mortal fear or exhilarating joy in those to whom it chooses to appear. ST. ELMO’S FIRE is the guiding angel in all of these paintings, a sign from the heavens that you’re saved or doomed, but most likely doomed.
My team and I are working hard to bring you ST. ELMO’S FIRE - Come have a drink!
