The gallery highlights some exceptional masterpieces, from Zoffany to Stubbs, Reynolds to Gainsborough, these portraits and landscapes highlight the social, political and cultural changes of the 18th century. Baroque and Berserk sits in the centre of the gallery, a complex diorama, presenting a fragmented world in which figures jostle with birds, branches and broken pottery. Despite an appearance of destruction, it also suggests resilience and hope. In contrast to the exuberance and theatre of the paintings nearby, Curneen\u2019s work is stripped of colour, drawing attention to the pure white, translucent quality of porcelain.\u00a0 It also brings to mind the period of \u00a018<sup>th<\/sup> century Meissen porcelain and in particular works by the porcelain sculptor Johann Joachim K\u00e4ndler.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=&#8221;4402,4401,4400,4399,4398,4397,4396,4395&#8243; posts_number=&#8221;8&#8243; show_title_and_caption=&#8221;off&#8221; show_pagination=&#8221;off&#8221; zoom_icon_color=&#8221;RGBA(255,255,255,0)&#8221; hover_icon=&#8221;&#x30;||divi||400&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; hover_overlay_color=&#8221;RGBA(255,255,255,0)&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][\/et_pb_gallery][et_pb_post_nav _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_post_nav][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;2_5,3_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/clairecurneen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/WAG-270421-0064_1.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Picture by Gareth Jones&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;3_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_post_title meta=&#8221;off&#8221; featured_image=&#8221;off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_post_title][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.0&#8243; link_option_url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;] May 2021 &#8211; May 2022 Claire Curneen presents Baroque and Berserk in the 18th Century Gallery of the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool.
