Mannerheim Gallery in Paris is exhibiting Robert Montgomery’s work titled “Year of the Corrupted Eclipse” through January 14, 2017.The Scottish artist and poet, writes his work in the tradition of conceptual art. His committed poems are an echo melancholy at the present time, revealing a highly subjective point of view and deep sensitivity. In his latest exhibition “Year of the Corrupted Eclipse,” he explores political, social and ecological questions through photographs and watercolors which signal to each of us the importance of cultivating our collective memory. This exhibition unveils several recent works, and some more whose message today takes on a new meaning. The title is a direct reference to the year 2016 which is coming to an end; that of the election of Donald Trump as president of the United States, Brexit, and an ever-increasing migratory crisis. It is on these dramatic events that Robert Montgomery bears critical and lucid at the same time, while stressing the need for radical transformation of our way of life.The exhibition is at Mannerheim Gallery, 6 rue Notre-Dame de Nazareth, 75003 Paris.For details, visit: http://mannerheimgallery.com/en-cours/Click on the slideshow for a sneak peek at the exhibition.
