BEERS London presents painter Andrew Moncrief alongside sculptor Sebastian Neeb at the Saatchi Gallery in an exhibition exploring the deconstruction of meaning, materiality, and message. Both artists adopt a wry sensibility to deconstruct the conventions of their chosen subject matter and artistic discipline.
Moncrief, a Canadian based in Berlin, has created a kind of painterly arena that invites an explosive, reactive approach to traditional figuration. His “figures” are carnal, disembodied, even verging toward the comical, referencing Guston, Bacon, and contemporary painters such as Cecily Brown and Jenny Saville flicker throughout.
