Face Dances by Chris Simonite

From 31 August to 26 September

Chris Simonite - a Canadian artist 
will be Skyping from Ottawa with those attending the opening (2pm to 5pm) on Sunday 7 September at 4pm. 

Face Dances features watercolour self-portraits that reference the humourous, absurd, abject and other contradictory aspects of the artist’s personality - the sad clown, the goofy uncle, or perhaps just the weirdo down the street

Self-portraiture is a recurring theme in Simonite’s art, appearing in the work focusing on his performance art alter-ego Stan Dickie his online comic strip Gorilla in the Midst and even in his series of drawings of dogs entitled (not) Darwin’s Dogs.
