Digital culture meet ancient iconography

Uvdeshmukh Uncategorized November 4, 2024

Daniel Crews-Chubb’s paintings comprise enthralling convolutions of historic imagery, digital culture, and art historical modes of representation. Ancient iconography mingles with mid-century expressionism and contemporary smartphone self-portraiture in the British painter’s show titled “Chariots, Beasts and Belfies” at Roberts Projects. Like weathered walls bearing heavy layers of graffiti, grime and whitewash, these paintings manifest labyrinthine webs of fascinating and problematic societal carryovers from a spectrum of previous eras and cultures. — As his show’s title implies, Crews-Chubb’s depictions center on an elemental trio of beasts, women and chariots. Paintings’ titles indicate that Crews-Chubb has created some sort of personal mythology around recurring characters named Zumbi and Belfie.
