"Dirk Staschke: Nature Morte" is an exhibition of transgressive and lavish sculptures inspired by the Flemish and Dutch Vanitas still-life paintings of the 16th and 17th centuries. These works offer a commentary on contemporary craving, overconsumption and excess. In his newer work, Staschke also asks us to consider what part medium plays in the value placed on art, and whether knowing the creative process adds to or diminishes its value.
