‘The Sleeping Runner’ exhibition starts on November 25th 2010 and runs till December 6th at The Brick Lane Gallery and the BHVU Winter Open starts the day after at the Basket House Village Universe collective art space, running till December 16th.
The Brick Lane Gallery exhibition showcases three brand new paintings created especially for the show; two of which are the latest in Coates’ ‘Rock-A-My-Soul’ series whilst the third sees the beginning of a brand new project entitled ‘Rexia’.
Meanwhile the BHVU Open offers the chance to see the third painting in Coates’ revered ‘Our Lady of Guadalupe’ series.
Working in paint, mixed media and three dimensions, Simon Coates’ artwork represents reflections on obsessions, viscera, opposites, surgery, iconoclasm, iconography, decay, rebirth, afterbirth, incest, autism, literature, disaster, redemption, macrocosms, microbes, exceptions and contradictions.
