“Face booked” - a solo exhibition by Coral Spencer
 |
| "Emoticons Sepia Series", oil on board, 13 x 13cm each |
For
her
exhibition "Face booked" Spencer is exploring the use of
emoticons and the way the social media has created ways to show emotions
using
these cartoon images, allowing people to create a persona that is not
always
correct and easy to hide behind. She is also exploring the idea that we
can
create a Facebook persona and leave out or add in information to tailor
our image to the one we would like rather then what is. The person
becomes what is presented not what is...we are reduced to a cartoon
image in a flash, a
shorthand for emotions.
In the Middle Gallery, Coral is showing some of her well-known beach scenes.
