Haunches by Maud Whatley
January 6-27, Main Space, Liminal Gallery, 34 Fort Hill, Margate
Liminal Gallery; new exhibition is ‘Haunches’, the first solo show of Margate-based artist Maud Whatley. The exhibition showcases Whatley’s drawings which layer images sourced from art-historical paintings, online archives, personal photographs, and Google image results.
Her work explores the politics of observation, the eroticism born from juxtaposing disparate ideas, and the alluring, unconventional nature of repetitive drawing techniques.
In ‘Haunches’ Whatley looks at the intricate relationship between human perception and the dissection of animal bodies, drawing inspiration from historical events such as the untimely demise of champion racehorse Phar Lap in 1932. The pictures explore symbolic and literal acts of dissecting, separating, and categorising; paralleling the way that Phar Lap’s body parts were archived across various museums.
