Hugh Mendes : The Death of the Artist
14 Oct-12 Nov 2016
CHARLIE SMITH LONDON
London E1 6QL

Obsessive oil paintings on linen of obituaries of dead artists. Mendes continues his ongoing meditation on life, death, existence and artistic production with a specific group of paintings that act both as portraits and still lifes, unexpectedly affirming the notion of the memento-mori.
