Preview 6 – 10pm, Thurs 7th April 2011. Caroline Hick, Curator at Gallery II and Fellow in Visual Arts at the University of Bradford writes: A solo exhibition of new and recent work. The socio-political themes running through London-based de Stacpoole’s large-scale digital prints, play on notions of fictional and real-life narratives through the rhetoric of her source material. de Stacpoole’s digital collages intersperse contrasting references to film and TV, rural landscape imagery and avatar sites, to create a hyper-real world which explores our distanced relationship to warfare and our experience of the world through the mediated reality of the entertainment industry. The bitter-sweet nature of her eye-candy scenarios reveals there is more at play than first appears on the surface.
