Artists’ attempts to envisage heaven on earth through painting landscapes is explored in works comprising rows of little houses built from discarded amateur pictures of idealized Nature, their facades incised with large letters to spell out mythical paradises such as Arcadia and Elysium. In Kenny’s vision the houses “become little streets or queues, identities waiting patiently dreaming”.
Chris Kenny’s recent work is being exhibited at England & Co from 12 November – 7 December.
Interesting! It reminded me of the typography exhibition at the V&A this September. We chose a word that expressed London to us and write it in a way that expressed the word. Mine was Multitudinal. I used various maps that describe aspects of London past and present. You can see others in: http://typetastingnews.com/2013/09/19/type-tasting-with-the-london-design-festival-at-the-va/
Thanks for this Hedy. I didn’t know about Type Tasting, it looks fascinating, especially your piece!
