“Strange Shores” 14.08.26 - 05.09.26

In her latest exhibition “Strange Shores” Ōtepoti Dunedin based artist Sharon Singer presents us with a compelling series of painted psychic landscapes. Taking cues from Fairy tales, weird tradition, magical realism, gothic traditions and speculative sci-fi world building. Singer continues to build on and echo the themes found in previous exhibitions every day calamities (2019), and Tales from the Anthopocene - Nightmares of a Better Tomorrow (2021). These enigmatic and ambiguous works draw you in with their rich seductive colour and tense surreal juxtapositions. Perhaps the exhibition functions as a dark, cautionary fable seeking to re-enchant the natural world while warning of a dystopian reality. Once you cross the threshold, you find yourself on a distinctly uncanny coast.
