In this exhibition of new works, BrendanVanHek produces a series of two dimensional works in neon, alongside a number of configurations of oval mirrors and prints on paper.The use of these materials continues on from works produced in recent years thatinvestigate the potential of neon and mirror.Influenced by popular culture, and the diverse, conflicting and varied sources that affect all cultural producers today, the work emerges from elaborate narratives, located in personal history, fictions and social politics.In particular this recent work takes the maze or labyrinth as a starting point to consider the idea of direction, destiny, fortune and what comes together to shape the view of one’s future. |
