Brendan Huntley
True to Life
July 9, 2023 - August 5, 2023
The title for the exhibition ‘True to Life’ is a curious frame – what is immediately striking is the playful rendering and reordering of things. Brendan Huntley’s seventh solo exhibition with Tolarno Galleries channels his distinct visual language to extend three bodies of work: large ‘Cocoon Head’ sculptures, small clay ‘Pinhead’ sculptures, and oil paintings. There are a lot of eyes, a lot of looking, and the motley assembly of creatures and faces feel like a relic of a myth or fairy tale.
