Overview

HdM GALLERY presents Island of the Fay, a duo exhibition of works by painter Marcel·la Barceló and sculptor Apollinaria Broche. The show is curated by Nick Hackworth.

The exhibition brings together Marcel·la Barceló’s dreamlike, chromatic paintings that depict often solitary figures in otherworldly landscapes, with a collection of bronze and ceramic sculptures by Apollinaria Broche of lush, surreal, human-sized, flowering plants and diminutive, sylvan creatures in various states of metamorphosis. The meeting of the works by these two artists with their sympathetic thought-worlds casts the show as a portal to a fairytale-like place where human and more-than-human life and the mythic intermingle as part of a dynamic, abundant and numinous whole.
