Deptford Does Art presents....

Dark But Happy Place is a showcase of works by London based Slovakian artists Peter Sulo and Gabriela Zigová. Following the first collaboration between Peter and Gabriela, exhibition C-Hole, which took place in Bratislava’s gallery Photoport in February 2018, Deptford Does Art will launch their second joint project Dark But Happy Place curated by Lucie Kordacova.

Gabriela Zigova’s uses photography, performance, site-specific and interactive installation or combination of those to explore social situations in relation to culture and political events. For Dark But Happy Place, Zigova presents a new work, a series of almost documentary photograph which mirroring her everyday life. Gabriela seeing by observing, questioning her position within the image and defining her own space. For this occasion, she creates an honest description of her surroundings, reflecting empty social spaces which set an environment for the imagination to happen. Gabriela is creating full empty spaces where stories can occur.

Peter Sulo’s work is rich in storytelling and is conceived as a kind of language, created for the purpose of sharing with other people. He employs visual motives from his surroundings and recreates them in painting and/or drawing in order to explore the elements from which they are constructed and to expand the meaning of an image through his own stories and interpretations. Peter Sulo’s paintings and drawings explore boundaries between reality and fiction particularly in relation to popular images. By appropriating old masters his paintings are referencing to the historical events, expanding the story and developing new dreamlike fabulation.

This project is supported by Slovak Arts Council.
