PARADOX

About

Darren Coffield's recent work explores the themes of celebrity, identity, the function of representation and how we perceive each other. These works subvert the viewer's instinctive faculties for reading human features to create stimulating and provocative portraits. For this exhibition the artist has responded to the intimate scale of Herrick Gallery and has produced a series of ‘miniature' painted portraits. The diminutive size of these works will be emphasised by their juxtaposition with Coffield's larger canvases.
