Rottcher’s work in this exhibition is an exploration of notions like joy, chaos, identity, and the tensions between the highs and lows in life.
Using traditional oil painting methods and the tradition of still life as a theme, Tyner’s works take on a contemporary feel when the specificity of the objects are considered, merging the past with the present.
Bridging the gap between documentary and conceptual photography, the work in this exhibition is a look into the relationship between humanity and the natural world, reminding us that life is fleeting.
