Neil Farber - Mogadishni

From the press release:
Illness and death are recurrent themes in Neil Farber´s new works, in which his well-known, peculiar, round headed figures seem to multiply like harmful cells – or spread like an epidemic – across the picture surface. The unpretentiousness and innocence of the works are being infected by something dangerous, disturbing and absurd, and the simple, expressive line is added a notable weight. In the twinkling of an eye small transparent blots of running paint are transformed to swirling, absorbing water masses or to streams of blood from cut-off heads and the hair on the back of the viewer’s neck begin to bristle.

The main idea behind the show is the difference between the paintings and the drawings. “At this point I´m quite comfortable with the drawings and they seem to work out as I imagine them. The paintings are different as I have only been working on boards and canvases the last 8 months or so after not really painting much on my own for the last ten years. I´m still getting used to it, so there is more variety as I figure what I like or don´t like, what I can do and what I can´t. At one point I imagined a series of work related to cannibalism and I thought I would call the show Canniballistics, like ballistics from a police laboratory. The more I thought about the work related to cannibalism the less interested I was in making it, but I still wanted to use the title”.
(Neil Farber January 2009).
