Synopsis

Tala Madani is one of the most original painters to have emerged in recent years. Her work reflects on masculinity, group dynamics, sexuality and power play topics that are explored with humour, as well as impossible cartoon violence. Madani imagines the bizarre and purposeless rituals of a male-only domain. An absurd and nightmarish sense of exposure pervades her paintings of groups of men in underwear or sleepwear, blissfully unaware and evidently enjoying their own predicaments, and each others' company. Madani has said that she 'let's the subconscious speak.' Bodily functions appear in her paintings and digital animations, creating intensely private moments that are strangely shared. Moving outside the body, she describes some of her works as speaking of a sexual, religious or spiritual ecstasy. These are inextricably and disturbingly tangled, critiquing male power cliques. She has said that she uses humour to 'bring everyone s guards down.'
