The sculptor who was behind the famous Phoenix unicorn and a painter whose tormented characters could give Egon Schiele a run, for his money are opening the new home of Exeter Artspaces at Exeter Castle with a special preview tomorrow (Saturday) night.
Sculptor Simon Ruscoe and painter Clare Flint’s joint exhibition, Call of the Lost, is the first of the Exeter Artspace group’s exhibitions at Exeter’s Norman castle.
Clare, whose work will feature on the cover of the forthcoming arts+culture magazine, has been exploring Dante’s The Divine Comedy, and her previous exhibition at the Cube 3 Gallery in Plymouth featured a 24 foot high x 18 foot triptych called The Inner Scream. Her new work still has large canvases with figures falling through space and time, as she sets out to scrutinise relationships between people and their environment.
Simon’s work deals with ‘major fears, frustrations and struggles faced by humanity’ as his gigantical metal figures are stuck drowning before you. It is one of these sculptures, a 14-foot high figure of a mother trying to save her baby, which will be on display at Exeter Castle.
Call Of The Lost will run from March 2 to 31
