Some process shots in making some of my David work
Exhibition Title, Pillow talk with david
This small body of work acts as an entry point to a bigger set of ideas and artworks.
Pillow talk with david encapsulates and documents a conversation I (Nick Sherlock) am having with myself in relation to the way I feel about traditional, classical, Western art. I like to see the work as a sort of debris, or documentation that consolidates the ever long conversation I am having with canonical, traditional art. Michelangelo’s David, is a momentous figure in Western art history. David, viewed through a contemporary lens, speaks past his initial, historical paradigm of Renaissance art, and now touches on questions around masculinity, Western ideology, standards of traditional art and art as a craft or pursuit.I would like for my work to communicate through its various symbols and signs, touching on conversations around western ideology in art, and a quarrel between rejection and eulogy with regards to its traditions. The little Columbus, compressed hieroglyphs of classical culture, can be seen as an entry point to this body of work, and set the tone in moving forward in engaging with these works.
