Since his emergence as an artist in the 1980s, Hew Locke has been remarkably consistent in his preoccupation with the languages of colonial and post-colonial power, and the symbols through which different cultures assume and assert identity. He appropriates coats-of-arms and trophies, weaponry, naval warships, and the costumes and regalia of state in a subtle critique of governmental authority, its iconographies and legacies.
Hew Locke: Here’s the Thing is organized by Ikon Gallery in Birmingham, UK, and a full-color catalogue is being produced by Ikon Gallery in conjunction with the exhibition.
