James Mortimer. Mortimer Land

Exhibition February 7 − March 2, 2019
Works in the exhibition "Ground mortimer"Represent the renewed Garden of Eden, where man and beast exist on equal terms. But, freed from social restrictions, people behave thoughtlessly, they are governed by their basest instincts: stupid acts of senseless violence, sexual obscenity, and long days of languid laziness.

Using the carnal aspect of human nature, the artist sheds light on moral ambiguities, sometimes found in folklore myths and rituals.

James Mortimer touches a very human truth: any desire for innocence is inevitably spoiled by the act of desire itself.
