GIFTS / Marina de Stacpoole
As a follow on from the project space events in May 2010, Gallery II is pleased to invite a rising star of British new-media work, Marina de Stacpoole, for 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.
