Alana Richards exhibition - newcastle lazarides, by MGK1 on Nov 4, 2010 12:55:16 GMT 1,
ALANA RICHARDS | BARELY BREATHING
Artists: Alana Richards
Location: The Outsiders - Newcastle
Dates: Friday 12th of November 2010 to Saturday 8th of January 2011
Dark emotions – experienced and imagined – are the main focus of Alana's work, paintings made up of fleshy bodies emerging from the darkness with expressions aimed straight at the viewer. Many of the compositions and the figures' poses make reference to classical portraiture. Alana's intimate paintings are also inspired by baroque painters, but despite some scratched, painted-over suggestions of halo’s, there are certainly no saints here. Instead, we're confronted with accidental sinners, portraits of human emotion and physical experience. They are not born easily on the canvas but struggle for life through layers of paint, worked and reworked, painted and painted over, building up a complex (if somewhat hidden) history of the figure.
