Cooke Latham – Siro Cugusi: Voyage and Return

Cooke Latham Gallery is delighted to present Voyage and Return, a solo exhibition by Siro Cugusi. The gallery space is dominated by three monumental paintings that explore the landscape genre and its symbolism. Untethered from any known reality, the paintings portray the dream-like topography of the unconscious. In many ways Arcadian vistas, the serenity of the subject matter is continually thrown into disarray; smooth ornamental imagery confronts painterly abstraction. As the viewer one is delighted by the balance of the compositions and yet unsettled by their continual disruption.
