Valentinos Funeral
JOHN MAYBURY
The installation - the drawings in particular - bring that bizarre phenomenon of movie Gods and Goddesses back to us now in sharp focus. The elegiac rendering of the mourners, in graphite, possess an extraordinarily cinematic quality. As collage — montage — whatever — the evocation is pure poetry. The beauty of the black and white rendering of each portrait emerging from the inky black of the surround recalling film posters and yet somehow the darkness of grief itself. The strange obsessive theatre of silent mime is frozen in time.
