Mens group show: 6 – 30 July, 2005
Is there a male aesthetic in the visual arts? Visitors to Idiom’s latest group show can decide.
The Men’s Show offers a cross-section of the work of eleven artists, from the young and emerging to well-established figures. The works on show range from photography and prints to paintings and mixed media. Does pink appear anywhere in their colour schemes? Is rugby an influence? Can we ask why blokes paint?
