UNITED KINGDOM---"The Shadows of a God" is a presentation of Robert Nicol’s disorientating paintings and ceramics in which polite genres are rattled in his appropriation of small-scale media. Nicol’s scenes bustle with characters undertaking bizarre and outrageous activities. Strange confluences and Lilliputian disruption are second nature in otherwise everyday contexts. Landscapes, interiors and portraits are interrupted by nonsensical occurrences. There is very little narrative coherence across Nicol’s work. Robert Nicol (born 1980, UK) lives and works in London.
