GM ~ Portraits Of The Future π₯π₯
By way of obituary, Iβm minting my collaboration w/ the renowned painter John Kirby today via @TransientLabs (open to offers) https://t.co/RYZqT8w084
Laurence Fullerβs cinematic poetry meets John Kirbyβs poised, unsettling tableaux of figurative paintings ~ doll-like figures in ritual poses. The collaboration frames Kirbyβs emblematic ambiguities of faith and belonging as staged βscenesβ into which Fuller threads voice, movement, and mythic storytelling. As portraits that talk back to the viewer, the future unfolds.
Laurence spoke with John in depth about this collaboration before his recent passing, they talked about philosophy, art and life for hours between Liverpool and Los Angeles. Introduced by the art dealer @Matthew_Flowers
John Kirby ~ bio
John Kirby (Liverpool, 1949β2025) was a British painter known for psychologically charged figurative works that probe questions of religion, sexuality, gender, and social ritual. Trained at Central Saint Martins and the Royal College of Art, he exhibited internationally with Flowers Gallery; his 2012 retrospective The Living and the Dead was held at the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool. Kirbyβs restrained, lucid styleβoften compared to Balthus and Hopperβcenters solitary figures and staged interiors, balancing tenderness with unease; his work is represented in collections including Tate and the V&A.
