The composition of Dargas’ portraiture presents an underlying interest in the covering or coating of the skin or the figure, by liquid or other materials. The lifelike element can be seen within the pose of the sitters, often in movement, with drips suspended in time. Thus, the paintings, resemble the photographic medium capturing the ephemeral beauty.
The exhibition will be open to the public from 19 January until 9 February, 2018.
