About Davardo’s Curses, Swears & Maledictions: Pictures of a Transgressive World
Local artist Davardo presents a broad retrospective of recent and previous works that incorporate figurative painting, abstract constructions and model- making, derived from life experiences and connections with social care, offending, domestic violence, addiction and education.
He utilises classical references and contemporary revelatory elements derived from Jungian theories to describe the subconscious plane. The works are both sorrowful and whimsical in their reflections on the tragicomic conditions of modern life. They seek to possess the same qualities as those of Commedia dell’arte; an iconography of the absurdity of the real.
The breadth and diversity of the works reflect upon the nature of how human interactions are perceived between individuals, groups and communities. The territory of fractured societies and cultures is the landscape that Davardo explores particularly in the figurative context of the art. The drama of the subconscious is brought into its own in the form of the constructions and models that are carefully filtered through archetypal space and psychic forces.
The thematic profiles of Curses, Swears & Maledictions connect to one another in a mnemonic and personal journey that reveals transgressive mores inherent in contemporary society and culture.
