Robert Hodgins and Michael Taylor\\\’s work evidences a joyful indulgence in mark-making, surface, colour, line and gesture. It is through their total immersion in these processes that both artists arrive at the images that poulate thier work and for these to take on meaning and to start speaking about the world around us. The show creates a captivating dialogue between the two artists, both dealing with similar themes of drama, irony, wit, camp, and in the work of both the ever present male body in all its guises of power, as well as its denuded vulnerabilities.
