DANIEL DOMIG
THE HEART IS A PRIDEFUL BEAST
20 FEBRUARY - 19 APRIL 2015
WARBURTON GALLERY, 1 INDIA BUILDINGS, VICTORIA ST, EDINBURGH, EH1 2EX
Having studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, Daniel Domig has exhibited widely over the past decade in both Europe and North America. This is his first UK show. The exhibition here at the Warburton, is dominated by a huge sculptural installation which squats like Gargantua, brash and unapologetic in lurid yellow rough-cut timber, disrupting and transforming the gallery space.
Often seen as an artist of mental states, Daniel Domig is nonetheless drawn back time and again to fractured forms of the body. Hovering somewhere between dream and nightmare, his works never seek to execute a preconceived plan but are the engagement between an artistic act and an inward journey. They are works whose being is their becoming, works which, to borrow a phrase from Aeschylus, ‘suffer into truth’.

POWELL + MEHRPOUYA
THE PALACE OF FORGETTING
Like Borges Aleph, a peep-hole in the basement, this exhibition bundles up the whole of time and space in a neat, easily-consumable package, and presents it to the art-public like an art flavoured microcosmic vol-au-vent. Including a series of etchings - 'A Universal History of Iniquity', that retell the whole of human history from the beginning to the end and then back again...
ALISON GRANT
THE SHAPE OF TIME
Born out of a preoccupation with the often mysterious nature of time and its relation to human consciousness, Grants work is always rooted in the natural world and, while deeply thought through, never succumbs to arid intellectualism. This is an exhibition of restrained and reflective sensuousness, of subtle power and quiet, yet expressive, beauty...
PAUL MARTIN
WHEN MEN AND MOUNTAINS MEET
We live today, in an increasingly materialistic and technocratic world, The exhibition 'When Men and Mountains Meet' seeks to explore the the human need to find, or to create, a space apart in which to consider the meaning and significance of things, the value we put on our environment and our sense of the poetic and the sacred...
