Now open at Perrotin Paris, Tavares Strachan’s exhibition ‘In Broad Daylight’ 'In broad daylight' is a phrase that speaks to the brazen-ness of an offence. To commit a criminal act in prime time, when it can be fully seen and witnessed, often confounds and produces an adamant disbelief. Strachan’s proclivity for playing with double meaning is reflected in the exhibition’s title through his interpretation of the phrase as a revelation of fundamental truths; a nod to an old wives’ tale, 'sunlight being the best medicine.’ @tavaresstrachan explores this duality through a new series of life-size sculptures based on the theme of the Madonna and Child. 'One of the things that the history of religious storytelling has done very well is to take beauty and tragedy and smash them together. This is what I am trying to do with this series of sculptures.' — @tavaresstrachan #TavaresStrachan #InBroadDaylight #PerrotinParis #Perrotin #EncyclopediaofInvisibility #Invisibility_Archives __ Tavares STRACHAN, Black Madonna, 2022 Tavares STRACHAN, Black Madonna, 2022 Courtesy of the artist and Perrotin
