Curator Victoria Lynn writes: “Hooper has compared them with figures from fashion magazines, but the absurdity of their attire transforms them from an everyday location or identity into their own universe. These unexpected combinations recall the discordant practices of surrealism and dadaism, but Hooper’s work is not so absurdist. The artist’s oeuvre has been characterised by this process of finding links between seemingly unfamiliar territories.”
Exhibition: 23 June – 17 July
Opening: Wednesday 23 June 6 – 8 pm
