About the exhibition
JOHN HINDS
Launch 2-4 pm Saturday 1st December 2012
This Artist's Book by Hinds is a handsome large scale 'Catalogue'
of his recent works on paper, which imitate wallpaper designs.
HINDS employs this Wallpaper genre as a conceit, patterned with
cliched themes, to wittily examine the curious Antipodean nostalgia for
England (including his own) despite over 200 years of history.
The term Wallpaper evokes a variety of pejorative meanings,
including mass produced banality, and inescapable bad taste.
As a popular medium it rarely transgresses into the field of High Art.
Notwithstanding the warm romantic vision, he finds that
there is always something amiss to compromise the perfection!
