Nicky Hirst: The Electorate
Domo Baal is proud to present 'The Electorate', Nicky Hirst's third solo show in the gallery. The exhibition will centre on uncertainty, transience and humanity. Working in a variety of materials found discarded on urban streets, her interests include layers of history, people and places. Her inspiration and source material comes from a mix of observation, conversation and language. The phrase 'lost in translation' permeates the exhibition.
The exhibition will also open for extended hours for London Gallery Weekend on 13, 14, 15 May 2022. In tandem with her Election Artist Commission, 'The Electorate' will be accompanied by a newsprint publication with a text by Rebecca Geldard.
In November 2019, Nicky Hirst was appointed as Parliament's official Election Artist 2019 by The Speaker's Advisory Committee on Works of Art. During the General Election Nicky followed and observed the campaign trail, before creating a unique permanent piece of art for the Parliamentary Art Collection. The work responds to the main themes and outcome of the election, drawing from her experiences across the UK. The resulting commissioned work of art 'There Was A Time 2019鈥�20' is installed in the atrium of Portcullis House.
