Olsen Gallery presents an exhibition of works by Charlie Shead.

“The paintings exhibited here are the concluding section of a much larger two year project; earlier sections are as yet unexhibited. χάος μανία δακρύων is the title for this last section of the work; the words are ancient Greek, translating roughly as Chaos Madness Tears. I use the variant spelling δακρύων that Ezra Pound used in his Pisan Cantos. My title refers to a vision of Dionysos manifesting in the studio, not to “meaning” of the paintings themselves.” – Charlie Sheard

Opening celebration 27 August, 5-7pm
