David Wightman - Behemoth

David Wightman: Behemoth and Other New Paintings

Part of Cornerhouse Projects

From Saturday 31 October to Wednesday 16 December

David Wightman appropriates images from both geometric abstraction and classical landscape painting – motifs associated with aspiration, idealism, and modernity. Using collaged wallpaper, which signifes the domestic, he personalises these images and renders them nostalgic – capturing their beauty, banality, and the desires they represent. The colours and patterns he uses in his work link aspirational working class homes and high art.
