Michael Ajerman : Fishermen, Strawberry and Devil Crab

About

From out of the depths of Michael Ajerman's boldly expressionistic brush strokes and dark, velveteen daubs, intriguing scenarios are being played out. In his distinctive settings, clues are scattered around, with everyday objects becoming intensely significant in some unknown psychodrama. His figures, meanwhile, take centre stage and emerge from their painterly backgrounds, appearing to have authentic back-stories and a real life beyond their stretchers. Long after leaving the exhibition you will still be wondering what those characters are up to.
