Three significant works recently included in the 56th Venice Biennale will be on display in the SCAD Museum of Art. Munroe will also present a series of new large-scale works and drawings in the Gutstein Gallery, including an installation that engages personal biography and references his childhood in the Bahamas.
Munroe’s painting practice incorporates elements of assemblage and collage, with composite pieces stitched and glued into a larger whole. Anthropomorphic figures that vacillate between the playful and macabre are the central motifs of his large-scale canvases. Often incorporating found and discarded materials, Munroe creates rich, painterly works that foreground his interest in history, anthropology and sociology.
Presented as part of deFINE ART 2016, which takes place Tuesday, Feb. 16 through Friday, Feb. 19, 2016.
All deFINE ART lectures, receptions and events are free and open to the public.
