With his eye for the unusual and exotic in everyday life, Hunter succeeds in capturing striking, remarkable snapshots of life in Great Britain today.Two of Hunter’s most popular motifs are offered in a small edition: one is the Girl in the Bus, from the Traveller Series, which made the artist internationally famous in the late 1990s. The picture features the inhabitant of a trailer-home; her cute one-room dwelling shows us how exorbitant today’s expectations actually are. The other piece, The Death of Coltelli, is more recent. In it, a model in plush, bourgeois surroundings poses like the doomed concubine from Eugène Delacroix’s scandalous painting, Death of Sardanapalus. The excessive decadence and opulence of the original painting is amusingly counteracted in Hunter’s version—this is Hackney, after all.
Produktinformation Deutsch
Mit seinem Blick für das Ungewöhnliche und Exotische im Alltag gelingen Tom Hunter eindrückliche und überraschende Momentaufnahmen aus dem Großbritannien von heute.
Zwei von Hunters beliebtesten Motiven können wir Ihnen in einer Edition anbieten: Zum einen das Girl in the Bus aus der Traveller Series, die den Künstler Ende der 1990er-Jahre international bekannt machte. Die abgebildete Bewohnerin einer Wagenburg beweist mit ihrer hübschen Einraum-Wohnung, wie überzogen hiesige Ansprüche eigentlich sind. Die andere Arbeit, The Death of Coltelli, ist jüngeren Datums. In ihr nimmt ein Modell in plüschig-bürgerlichem Ambiente die Pose einer der todgeweihten Konkubinen aus Eugène Delacroixs Skandalbild Tod des Sardanapal ein. Die jede Grenze sprengende Dekadenz und Opulenz der Vorlage wird in Hunters Version auf amüsante Weise konterkariert – this is Hackney, after all.
