Overview
Anthony Daley, Corporeality

Anthony Daley: Corporeality is the inaugural physical exhibition by Gallery OCA, a gallery established to support, promote and showcase the work of artists of Caribbean heritage. Dedicated to telling the story of Caribbean artists, founder Sherece Rainford has set her sights on drawing people into a new way of discovering and learning about art of the islands.


This exhibition showcases Daley’s luminous paintings which are an amalgam of places, memories, experiences of growing up in Jamaica and future visions. Although reminiscent of aquatic landscapes or beautiful skies, their subjects and meaning remain fundamentally opaque. Through processes of over-painting, erasure, and blur, Daley develops rhythmic surfaces that conceal as much as they expose, and which interrogate the interconnections of beauty and chaos.


According to Daley: “Colour is hypnotic, it takes all humans by surprise. The split-second moments of abstract skies, a river reflecting hallucinations of light, the pink fog of a spring morning – these abstract moments surround us outside of the canvas.” Daley experiments with materiality, light, shadow, and form in ways that respond to the histories of abstraction, but which propose vibrant, undulating, environments in which to consider the physical experiences of colour and the positionality of the body in space.
