Information
GALLERY46 is proud to present ‘MONSTER’ a solo show by Joe Hesketh – in which she explores a vivid depiction of the lawless territory that occupies the – o en convoluted – reality of what it means to be human, capturing an apoca- lyptic cynicism that seems to be inextricably bound to life as a woman in the 21st century.
With themes of transgression and the grotesque pervading her work, ‘Monster’ is a search for meaning in a world full of ‘ism’s’. Hesketh’s work probes and pivots between sex, life and death and humour, tragedy and beauty that endures amidst the chaos of our world, saturated with a myriad of manmade horrors and injustices.
“You’re never quite sure whether what’s going on is a matter of fun or fear’
THE GUARDIAN
“Using bright colours to instantly seduce, I like to keep the horrors just under the skin, hoping to achieve a little spasm, a little slapstick or a slap in the face”.
