David Austen

David Austen: My love, I have been digging up my own bones in the garden again

8 October 2009 - 22 November 2009

An exhibition of work by David Austen presents an invitation to step into a parallel existence… a strange and fragile landscape populated by figures, flowers, trees, abstractions, words and signs; woven across painting, drawing, print-making, sculpture and film.

It is a fragmented but distinct encounter, in which each object and artwork stands alone, yet simultaneously forms part of a greater whole. The drama that unfolds reveals the tragicomic potential of human existence and the futility of love. It is a world of love and fear, though the cruelty is offset by the empathy Austen brings to his subject matter.

David Austen was in conversation with Simon Groom (Director of Modern and Contemporary Art, National Galleries of Scotland) on Saturday 10th October, 2009. To request an edited transcript of the talk, please email alice@inglebygallery.com
