Modern Fabulists

Spent a lovely day in Bristol on Saturday. Dean Melbourne and I went to check out the Modern Fabulists exhibition at View Gallery. The show is a collaboration between View Gallery and art consultants Coates & Scarry working with European and American Artists.

“The exhibition celebrates the enduring relevance of storytelling. Pagan imagery, human and animal mixed manifestations, the shocking juxtaposed with the sublime, all come together to represent what are ultimately beautiful and spiritual renderings and interpretations of folklore and tales.” (View Gallery)

There was some magical storytelling going on, my favourite piece being this wonderful work by Dee Dee Cheriel:

The show continues until this Sunday (May 29th) so hurry if you want a look!
