Taymour Grahne Projects is pleased to present Everything will be A-O.K, an online solo exhibition by Alberta, Canada based artist Marc Etherington, opening virtually on June 29, 2021.
B. 1973
Lives and works in Devon, Alberta, Canada.
Marc Etherington's past solo exhibitions include Hugo Michell (South Australia), Michael Reid (Sydney), Gallery 9, (Sydney), Breezeblock Gallery (Sydney), D.N.A. Gallery (Sydney) and Firstdraft Gallery (Sydney). His past group exhibitions include: Archie 100, A Century of the Archibald Prize (Sydney), Navigating Cook, (Sydney), You’re my no. 1, curated by Talia Smith, Firstdraft (Sydney), as well as numerous participations in Sydney Contemporary Art Fair with Michael Reid Gallery.
Marc Etherington’s works take pop culture, childhood memories and everyday domestic life as their subject matter, rendering them through a darkly humorous and sometimes absurd lens.
References to Jurassic Park, Freddy Krueger, old-school video game aesthetics and boom-boxes point to experiences of coming of age in the 1980s and 1990s, while landscapes and interiors are depicted with an eye for amusing detail.
Self-taught, Etherington has maintained a consistent practice in painting and small sculpture for over a decade and more recently has worked with larger scale sculptural installations and ceramics. His sculptural works touch on themes such as mass production and collectibles.
This painting is about showing support to my daughter during lockdown. She has been struggling with isolation and depression, and I want her to know that I'll always have her back and that everything will work out.
I love Jim Henson and his colourful, warm universe ‐ the oposite of the dark, cold winter days here in Alberta.
