Sam Dargan paints the doomed world of jobsworths whose lives of monotony and abjection are grey and dismal. Transported to barren and sinister landscapes the characters are lost in scenes suggestive of abysmal teambuilding exercises gone wrong; churches burn, rivers overflow and white collars are strung up in trees in their mud splattered suits. Battling against the forces of nature and the urban streets alike the artist's figures are somehow forlorn, the depicted adventures fragmentary, futile and incomplete. Despite the apathy and self loathing there is humour beyond the desperate situations and forlorn stances. There is always a smile on the face of the viewer; more knowing for some than others. |
