JOHN STARK : Apiculture
7 Oct-12 Nov 2011
CHARLIE SMITH LONDON
London E1 6QL
Overview
In this exhibition Stark has created a body of work that gravitates towards the centre of his preoccupations of the last three years. Rendered with masterly technique in oil on panel, Stark’s paintings transcend time by navigating the historical, the contemporary and the futuristic. Colonies of beekeepers tend to their colonies of bees. Hooded and masked figures labour in the landscape in a collaborative enterprise to create liquid gold. Stark is presenting a strange, mythological and utilitarian society consisting of communities inhabiting historic fortifications and prototype dwellings set amongst verdant foregrounds and rocky, receding backgrounds.
