MAMOTH is thrilled to announce a new group show titled The Colour of Pomegranates, features five artists whose paintings portray interiority. The exhibition takes its title from a 1969 Armenian film that captures the life of a famous musician through symbolism and poetry rather than biographical fact. In their paintings, Casey Bolding, Marie Rosenzweig, Sophie Schmidt, Raya Terran and Randy Wray employ abstraction and surrealism as tools to allude to memories, emotions, daydreams and fantasies. Coloured in soft neutrals or hallucinatory tones, the ambiguous scenes and images of their works are anchored in the familiar yet incessantly pulling away from it, neither fully real nor entirely fantasy. They articulate instead the way our interior world can meddle with, intercede in, and occasionally puncture our everyday life as much as physical reality.
