Eros Riff presents a suite of works that further Jeremy Sharma’s recent turn, or ‘return’ to painting, where the artist explores the medium’s ontologies as well as its poetics, and what it affords in terms of its potential to bridge image, idea, making and meaning. As aptly suggested by the exhibition title, these new works are notable for their haptic, painterly qualities, suggesting an irrepressible creative impulse as well as a freewheeling improvisation that speaks to contemporary visual culture’s endless loop of reproducing and repurposing images unmoored from their original contexts to give rise to new ones.
With imagery gleaned from disparate sources, from gritty urban scenes to romantic landscapes and cinematic vignettes, the works in Eros Riff tease at but often resist easy legibility – an invitation to look, to linger, and to revel in their ambiguity.
