Sister, Mother: The Cosmology of Rugman
Small exhibition
at the Saatchi Gallery of new work but Rugman.
I’m afraid I
found these too like the posters I might have had on my walls at University on
the early 80s so I found them a bit retro and stylised rather than new and
cutting edge! The commentary says they “explored the relationship between
mankind and the natural environment” but I’m afraid I didn’t get it!
They were female
figures with tattooed figures with birds’ heads. I did like the gold circles
and discs behind many of the heads giving a nod back to early religious
painting and the muted colours but I’m afraid I didn’t connect with them.
Closes on 2
February 2016.
