• description

  On loan from the Arts Council Collection, Skaer's work The Great Wave (Expanded) (2007) is inspired by 19th century Japanese printmaker Hokusai's most famous print, Under the Wave, off Kanagawa. Skaer re-creates the wave in three panels to form a triptych.
  
  This will be on show alongside a short film titled Leonora (The Joker) (2006) and Leonora (The Tyrant) (2006), an antique table inlaid with mother-of-pearl. The 'Leonora' works refers to a meeting between Skaer and the surrealist artist and novelist, Leonora Carrington.
