COLONY presents Frou-Frou Foxes in Midsummer Fires, a show revelling in summer madness and folly. Presenting a disparate collection of works, with no apparent unifying themes or grand principals, subjects include landscape, flies, dicks, bunkers, astronomy, penguins and more.
While at first the work may seem frivolous and light, each work contains layers which suggest an altogether more complex web of meaning and interpretation. A disparate collection of work is drawn together by the very sense of investigation each artist employs, tugging at the viewer to move beyond the immediate.
