SARTORIAL GALLERY, LONDON, 25 March to 18 April 2009 Private View Tuesday 24 March 6.30 to 10pm
Getting Better features the largest selection of Harry Pyes paintings to date. The show features many special guest collaborators, including Hannah Armstrong, Gordon Beswick, Billy Childish, Marcus Cope, Luke Gottelier, Kes Richardson, Rowland Smith, and Geraldine Swayne.
Pye has made large scale work for the first time. Hes also painted in oils for the first time and experimented with textiles. The theme of the show is happiness.The old Harry Pye may have seen himself as a tortured soul, but lately things have started to get better.
Harry Pyes 2nd solo show in the U.K. coincides with Easter, when Christians believe Jesus rose from the dead. Several paintings in the exhibition depict events in the life of Christ. Although Harry Pye doesnt believe in life after death he has not made paintings that in any way mock Christian values or suggest that Jesus didnt exist.
Other paintings in the show are inspired by Pyes own life and in particular his stay in Sao Paulo and Rio in 2008, the artists first holiday abroad in 20 years. He believes that events such as this holiday, becoming an uncle, and turning 35 have made him happier. He feels that Getting Better is a positive show featuring paintings by a man both confident in his own madness and in love with the world.
Marvin Gaye once observed, We are all sensitive people with so much to give. Over the last couple of years Harrys paintings have appeared in shows in Brazil , Denmark , Australia , Italy and the U.S.A . Now its your chance to come to Kings Cross, see them in the flesh and really find out what Harry and his friends have to offer. Sartorial Contemporary Art are delighted that issue 5 of their magazine, The Rebel has surfaced in time for the show. Half the publication is devoted to Jesus the greatest Rebel of all time. The rest of the magazine is about Harry who welcomes you to his world with open arms.
