Closing tomorrow in London, Ken Currie's exhibition 'Black Boat' features a new body of work that interlocks narratives from Ancient Greece with contemporary seafaring tales from the Outer Hebrides.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The details seen here are from 'The Argonauts' (2019), a large-scale triptych that depicts ideas of conquest, featuring scenes of brutality and a sky dramatically lit by the trails of falling missiles. Widening out across three panels, the painting resembles a stage set, in which each group of characters engage in symbolic actions with references to both the Argonautic voyage and the Oresteia.
