TEXT:
BWG Gallery presents Two by Two. An exhibition celebrating the wild and domesticated mysteries of the animal kingdom, and of mankind’s sometimes healthy, sometimes unhealthy, obsession with other species. From wild beasts to domestic pets, animals have traditionally sustained our nutritional, emotional, religious, artistic and scientific needs and desires. Our relationships with the animal aspect of Nature has allowed the human aspect of Nature to reach ambitious cultural heights throughout history, for better and worse. All the while animals have lived out their evolutionary journeys without any need for humanity.
This exhibition, presented throughout three spaces, is an installation that celebrates the reintroduction of the animal into our daily lives, by allowing the viewer to undergo a circular rite of passage from the domesticated culturality to the wild naturality of animals and back again.
A portion of the Artwork sales in Two by Two will be donated to domestic and wildlife animal welfare and conservation charities Celia Hammond Animal Trust and RSPB.
