Description
Mark Metcalfe’s practice features characters that challenge fixed ideas about trust, faith and the unknown, becoming totemic of a deep drive to externalise hidden things through characterisation. Mark’s work reflects a preoccupation with memory and nostalgia, where an image can posit a peculiar melancholy or sense of the uncanny, through a memorialization of the past, constructed through archetypal heroes, tricksters and bizarre phenomena.
Hail the Great She Goat draws on religious paintings where the Madonna is sometimes depicted squirting a jet of milk into the mouth of a saint. This painting skews the symbolism by using a goat: a symbol indelibly associated with the devil, notions of moral corruption and the fall from grace.
