DAVID HAINES
"Drawings, Songs and Video"
Almost everyone longs for meaningful contact, whether it is through involvement in a public event or a private interaction. In fact, even seemingly aggressive acts can reveal vulnerability in this regard, which attests to the truly complex nature of human relations.
British artist, David Haines, creates contemplative and obsessive drawings, songs, and videos to connect with the unfamiliar — he offers personal representations of the anonymous figures central to his voyeuristic pursuits, he locates poetic contexts in ambiguous texts drawn from online forums and, through his observations, seemingly banal scenarios prove to be extraordinarily multifaceted. Haines knows there is always more than meets the eye, and he invites audiences to join him the search for that which lies beneath the surface.
