Cicek Gallery is pleased to present Antic Hay, the first London solo exhibition of Maltese artist and political cartoonist Sebastian Tanti Burlò. This timely show is a critique on the decadence of Western society, capturing its decline through 12 new oil paintings. As the Times of Malta's political cartoonist, Burlò’s strong satirical strand underpins all his paintings. The works feature a ribald cast of characters staged within lavish and mundane interiors stretching from the Mediterranean to the North Sea.
“My men, like satyrs grazing on the lawns, shall with the goat feet dance the antic hay.”
- Christopher Marlowe, Edward II
In the tradition of Marlowe and Huxley, Burlò’s Antic Hay sets the stage for the absurd dance performed by an elite class in decline.
