Event Description |
Madison Gallery proudly presents new work by Scottish artist and poet, Robert Montgomery. Following the tradition of conceptual art, Montgomery creates thought-provoking sculptures out of LED lights and text. With these works, he addresses all-encompassing, universal themes such as power, love, and human kindness in electric light—or, dramatically, even fire. These poems affirm his philosophical beliefs, as he categorizes them as “melancholic post-Situationist,” and his personal connection for British-Celtic traditions of the mystical lands as written by W.B. Yeats and William Blake. His simple, graphic poems have since been plastered, often illegally, over advertisements and billboards internationally. The British artist selected for the Kochi-Muziris Biennale 2012, the first biennale in India, Montgomery has had solo exhibitions at venues across Europe and Asia. |
