Edmund Clark and Peter Schmersal at Flowers Gallery
“Both are, in a way, embarking on a ‘hidden conversation.’ Schmersal overtly ‘talks with’ the old masters, the paintings and people long lost in historical time, whereas Clark embarks on a re-telling of the traditional views of Afghanistan, the American army, insurgents – and the war fought between unknown enemies. Here, ‘the other’ is key to self-understanding for both artists work.”
