Locke, Hew, 1959-
Hew Locke : here's the thing / Here's the thing edited by Erin Dziedzic, Diana Tuite and Jonathan Watkins ; texts by Professor Richard Drayton, Diana Tuite and Jonathan Watkins. - 95 pages : illustrations (black and white, and colour) ; 28 cm
This catalogue is a comprehensive survey of the work of British artist Hew Locke. Involving a wide range of media - painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, and installation, Locke explores the languages of colonial and post-colonial power, and the symbols through which different cultures assume and assert identity. Fusing historical source material with a keen interest in current affairs, often through the juxtaposition or modification of existing artefects, Locke focuses attention especially on the UK, the monarchy and his childhood home of the then newly independent Guyana.
