My friend and I stopped chatting when we saw this exhibition of Sanya Kantarovsky’s work at Modern Art on Helmet Row.
There’s a strong sense of unease and foreboding in these life-sized paintings from 2019-20. You know things are wrong; something terrible has happened or is just about to. Life is frightening and unpredictable.
And yet … you have to keep looking…
and admiring the mark-making and handling of paint.
