As well as the addition of Mr. Spar's work to Manchester Store, we also have the "Sirens" Exhibition by StavinArtist...
Here is a little bit about what "Sirens" is about:
"I am fascinated with how the physical world has been depicted
and explained through the imagination. Especially in relation to the
creation of fables and legends through the ages that have brought us
so many iconic figures... later re-envisioned within stories, artwork
and film.
When I began as starvinartist I borrowed from this tradition to explain my services within a metaphor... being able to discover, develop and create a customers Siren… as in the fabulous creature from Greek Mythology that turn a persons head.
By 2007 my practice had developed and I had stopped referring to my style in these means, but became focused on producing work around the theme. Naturally developing a small network of models and a body of work that depicted them as modern-day Sirens. Much more inline with the seductresses that Odysseus (Odyssey) and Jason (Argonautica) came across.
As written in the notebooks of Leonardo Da Vinci... "The siren sings
so sweetly that she lulls the mariners to sleep; then she climbs upon
the ships and kills the sleeping mariners." Similarly
this selection of pieces have dark sexual and carnivorous undertones..."
