Chimera : Joshua Hagler
Unit London presents American contemporary artist Joshua Hagler's large scale oil paintings representing an excavation of time with layers of semi-realistic figures and historic scenes that are distorted by marks, smears and cuts which render the images partially abstract and alluding to a past constructed narrative, 'I want the paintings to have the feeling of vague recollection, a memory that starts to form but disappears'...abstract, challenging and illusionary with graphic scenes culture and history become a composite of past and present archetypes!
