Daryl Gannon Remember, Remember
Opening Reception: November 3, 2017 6-‐8pm November 3 – December 16, 2017
SAMARA Gallery is pleased to present Remember, Remember, a solo exhibition by Daryl Gannon. The Artist writes, “"This exhibition was born out of the idea that an act of terrorism and high treason has somehow turned into a day of celebrating. Songs and traditions recall a traitor's execution by annually re-‐executing him, all while children sing and dance to the memory of his deeds... By using toys as symbols, these pieces attempt to hold a mirror to the motivations laid bare by our elected officials, and to the powerful corporate entities delving into our pockets to bolster their bottom line. The child-‐like drawings, incorporating many of my own children's doodles and toys, hint at playfulness, at the truth so obvious to the child's eye: how absurd all of this is. And so we cope, like the children who dance and chant, burning effigies of poor Guy Fawkes." Daryl Gannon was born in London, UK, where he earned a BA in Painting at Chelsea College of Art. Upon graduating he moved to Houston, TX where he has worked in art education since 2012.
