Exhibition
Nathan Cash Davidson - Burlesque - Parasol unit
Parasol unit foundation for contemporary art is delighted to present a solo exhibition dedicated to the work of emerging British artist Nathan Cash Davidson, comprising some twenty paintings dating from 2006 to the present.
An artist and lyricist with a uniquely compelling visual language, Cash Davidson makes paintings featuring such diverse figures as King Henry VIII, Eliza Bennett and Ali G. Historical and popular cultural characters and the artist’s own family members meet animated gargoyles and mournful mythological creatures in otherworldly forests, cathedrals, desert islands and council estates; boldly rendered in swirling, often vibrant colours.
Burlesque in which we've thrown it on its head is an encounter with Cash Davidson’s prodigious talent for figuration and architectural detail, and his wry and irreverent wit. These accomplished and confident works evoke a rich interior landscape whilst also offering an often bleak and discomfiting perspective of the contemporary metropolis.
