Piers Alsop Solo Exhibition
About
Serious humour, imaginary realism, optimistic lament – in his first solo exhibition ‘like an ancient day’ Piers Alsop expresses a series of allegorical episodes, which have come to suggest meaning beyond absurdity, and an abiding faith in the uncertain.
Drawing on different art forms and historical references, Alsop offers oblique narratives that do not promise gratification but instead balance emotion with logic. There is something indeterminable about Alsop’s paintings, which are imaginatively figurative, attended by pastiche characters, and often rendered in vivid colours. Scenes which brim with tense ambiguity wittily suggest that maybe none of it means anything.
