Presentation
Huberty & Breyne gallery is taking us right to the edge of the forest, plunging us into the mythical and fairytale universe of Dave McKean, as he unveils his new project “Callisto”.
This project, which McKean approaches and interprets via a number of different art forms – photography, painting, film, books, etc – is a source of increasing fascination to the artist and an invitation to keep delving deeper. McKean has elected to plant his creations within a dark and mysterious woodland setting, which conceals numerous anthropomorphic hybrid creatures, part wood, part fur.
These creatures symbolise the animal nature, calm and noble, that slumbers inside each of us; a kind of return to our primal roots.
