TELLTALE : Kate McCrickard & Dasha Shishkin in Londen

What tales are these? What are the telltale signs and to what do they allude?

There is truth and fantasy, folly and madness, humour and wickedness. The absurd amidst the everyday is juxtaposed in vivid tangled compositions, much as in real life. There are also more contemplative monotypes of single figures: smokers, drinkers, cats and various urban individuals; performers on a private stage created by each artist.

Kate McCrickard and Dasha Shishkin are old friends with very different backgrounds and professional careers, but they are linked through their love of drawing and printmaking and a rich, liberated narrative imagination. Their work is brought together from their studios in Paris and New York for the first time in an intriguing dialogue presented by the Emanuel von Baeyer gallery in London.
