FOOD FOR THOUGHT (SHERIDAN GALLERY)

Food For Thought is a touring exhibition of contemporary photography by the artist Gary Sheridan. The work exhibited in this exhibition, initially engages the viewer with aesthetics, and then engages the mind, revealing layers which at first glance are not exposed.

Gary Sheridan’s Art originates from personal experience and often gives rise to social debate. It is mindful of its own fabrication and whether alluding Old Masters, Advertising or Fashion photography, parody and appropriation are common threads woven into the work. The work is often ambiguous with many layers, leaving it open to interpretation, with the emphasis on destination rather than its origin. Gary understands the power of aesthetics to engage the viewer and his work is often recognized by its saturated colours and a vein of humour that runs through its body. Don’t be fooled by the aesthetics or the vein of humour, what often lies behind the facade are comments on serious social issues.


The concept behind this exhibition is to reach people who may not be familiar with conceptual/fine art photography, taking it out of the typical gallery surroundings and into a sometimes more relaxed atmosphere of a restaurant, hence the name Food For Thought. I hope you enjoy the exhibition and please feel free to contact Gary with any questions.
