Saturday 25th April 2pm – 5pm
British sculptor Nic Joly brings to life paradoxical characters and scenes; small in scale but larger than life, they are simultaneously satirical and truthful in nature. Keen collectors of Joly’s work will notice the subtle evolution at play in this latest collection. There are strains of autobiographical truth that are treated with Joly’s inimitable satirical jest, and yet displayed proudly for the world to see.
Delivering huge impact in every tiny tableau, Joly uses scale to parody and expose his chosen subject matter, impervious to the taboos and restrictions enforced by society. Nothing is safe, nothing is sacred.
“We are all made of light and dark. Why do we hide the dark side?” – Nic Joly
