The Garden

Christophe Guye Galerie is thrilled to announce Erik Madigan Heck’s second solo exhibition 'The Garden' at the gallery. 'The Garden' is an ongoing body of work by Erik Madigan Heck, which moves through a singular world–a fairytale in which figures and settings become tableaux for hyper-concentrated tonal arrangements. Images are composited and oversaturated with colour to create painterly and surreal compositions in which the familiar and fantastic are merged. Completing its aesthetic fantasy through lavish clothes, gestures of dreamlike poignancy, and an Edenic environment, 'The Garden' expresses the supramundane innocence and spontaneity that art makes possible–a life lived in the direct, immediate experience of beauty.
