I enjoyed my visit to The Curve to see the first solo UK exhibition of work by self-taught artist Citra Sasmita entitled Into Eternal Land. You can read more about the artist and the exhibition here. Incidentally, for the first time ever I was given a verbal trigger warning and told that that the exhibition contained ‘animal skins and representations of nudity’.
Here are some of my images (the animal parts are cow hides and a python skin).
Beaded cow hides hung on antique wooden pillars …
Acrylic on Kamasan canvas …
Acrylic on python skin …
Embroidery on canvas …
The exhibition closes with a space for meditation around a golden mandala of ground turmeric …
Into Eternal Land runs until Monday 21st April.
