The Battle between Carnival and Feast

Image
Colourful exhibition at Palazzo Cini of new work by Adrian Ghenie inspired by Pieter Bruegel the Elder’s “Battle between Carnival and Lent”. These works were huge and painterly. They were full of abstracted figures with nods to current affairs and full of Venetian colour. They looked fantastic in this 16th century Palazzo which I wouldn’t have imagined. I loved the Francis Bacon like take on Donald Trump. Closes 18 November 2019
