I Lied About You & Me

Solo exhibition

I Lied About You & Me is a body of large-scale works created using Marcus Dove’s signature use of pyrotechnics, gunpowder and exothermic reactions directly on canvas.

The destructive nature of these materials becomes part of the subject itself, exploring love, conflict, trauma and the ways relationships can unravel. Fire, smoke and combustion are not simply tools for mark-making, but a physical reflection of the volatility, damage and intensity that can exist between two people, whether together or apart.
