Artist: Matthew Purvis “The Hysterical Male” Where: EEL Gallery, 1 Spadina Crescent, Toronto When: Feb. 1-17 Reception: Feb. 1 5-7pm Gallery hours: M-W 12-5pm “The Hysterical Male” is the first solo exhibition by Matthew Purvis. Featuring photographs and sculptural pieces, the works explore issues of masculinity and but also seek to re-evaluate some of the aesthetic prejudices of modern art. Composed of fourteen distinct stations and more than forty elements, these aspects interact and play off each other in conflicting ways. Couched in styles that bridge classicism with folk art, the show smudges the distinctions between images and objects using the naked male body as a starting point.
