Charade II and IV: Clemens Stecher

Visual Arts

‘Charade II’ is a collection of hand-made comics, created in watercolour, India ink and acrylic. It assembles familiar scenes from news coverage, removing them from their context as the artist’s response to media overload.

The second part of the exhibition ‘Charade IV’ fuses the everyday with abstract, subtle and mythological creatures and events.

Vienna based artist Stecher reproduces iconic moments in our collective memory, asking which images will remind us of the 2000s, George W. Bush, Lynddie England or the two young Iranians who were hanged for being homosexual?
