🟠 Paint Like The Swallow Sings Calypso at Kettle’s Yard is a 'curiously joyless celebration of carnival', says HettieJudah Review: ⭐⭐
from the collections at Kettle’s Yard and the Fitzwilliam Museum. In one gallery, Paul Dash explores the history of carnival, including Roman Bacchanalia , Italian commedia dell’arte performances, and European Mardi Gras events.Errol Lloyd and John Lyons have dipped into the collections to assemble a pictorial procession evoking the spiritual and symbolic essence of carnival. In both displays, the artists show their own carnival-themed works alongside the historic pieces.
There are some big names flying around but all are represented in very minor ways. The more exciting works are by less familiar names, notably two drawings by Avinash Chandra that evoke thronged bodies and movement. Dash’s selection is mainly of prints. The one large canvas sticks out jarringly. I can understand Dash choosing works of subdued tone – his own paintings and prints in the show are largely composed of rhythmic strokes of black ink that in places coalesce into thronged figures but elsewhere suggest a mass of movement. They are the highlight of an exhibition in which the art is otherwise of patchy quality.
