Drawing on the Greek concept of charis — the gift freely given, the favour of grace — this exhibition explores beauty, presence, and the complexities of being human. With bold, graphic works full of character and complexity, this show is both a celebration and an offering.
Duncan Hose is a poet and visual artist living in Nipaluna.
Artist Statement
There is a lot of lamenting lately of the human as a spoiling or spoiled species: a parasite, a pathogen. Our apocalypse is beautifully cast with villains: tyrants and other petty monstrosities in the form of human beings. This exhibition of pictures celebrates what is beautiful in the human, by following the ancient Greeks and their personification of intellectual through sensual pleasure in the figures of beauty, grace and charm. The Three Graces are here multiplied to thirty thousand, tending to an overwhelming number, a multiplication of the human sublime is transmitted through a look, a gesture, a phrase, an attitude. The earth loves her children: accomplished human beings are still possibly ‘the paragon of animals.’
