Marie-Henri Beyle (2013), by D. Dalwood)

Item Type:	Exhibition
Creators:	Dalwood, D
Abstract:	Michael Bracewell wrote about Dexter Dalwood’s work, ‘Dalwood makes paintings which collage quotations from the history of art and cultural iconography. His paintings often depict the sites of violent, traumatic and historic events. Character and action are conveyed through symbol, atmosphere and most intensely through the visual language and temperament of painting itself.’[i] This splicing together of images is evident in his painting Marie-Henri Beyle. Beyle is better known by his pseudonym, Stendhal, one of the foremost practitioners of realism. Dalwood has visually quoted from two earlier historical works to create a painting which alludes to a biographical event in the author’s formative years.

Note:	The show explores how artists' work can be informed by elements from the past whether this is through literature, politics, film or history. By appropriating images and cultural references and reconfiguring or recombining them, these artists offer us a lens onto the present, enabling an exploration of such topics as the plasticity of memory, psychology, identity and cultural ownership. Other artists displayed at the exhibition are Mamma Andersson, Amie Siegel and John Stezaker.
