Paul Stolper Gallery is proud to present
Shaun Doyle and Mally
Mallinson鈥檚 鈥楳um Man鈥 an exhibition of bronze and mixed media sculptures, prints and works on paper that offer an unfettered account of contemporary Britain. For nearly 10 years, Doyle and Mallinson have incorporated humour and cynicism into their work, censuring behaviours and values associated with contemporary society that they consider untrustworthy, suspect or corrupt. The title 鈥楳um Man鈥 comes from a friend of the artists鈥 who addressed everyone as 鈥榤an,鈥 ending every sentence with the word. The title was chosen as it not only suggests a nickname for early hominids like 鈥榰pright man鈥 but also as it references a change in the social role for men. Doyle and
Mallinson鈥檚 first solo exhibition at the gallery is a satirical account of the British experience, with three distinct, yet coherent groups of work; the 鈥楬andyman鈥 bronzes, the 鈥楨cce Homo鈥 works, and the 鈥榃endy Squats鈥.
