About the book >.>.> Eric Bainbridge Catalogue, spanning from 10 October to 18 November 1990, showcases the works of artist Eric Bainbridge, providing insight into his creative journey and artistic evolution. During his student years, Bainbridge produced a striking collection featuring a large, open box filled with clay heads. These heads, which were crafted through repetitious hand movements, bore an uncanny resemblance to unplugged sockets. Their expressionless forms, devoid of functional features such as eyes and mouths, evoked a sense of embarrassment and a stark representation of futility. This portrayal of thick individuals highlights the intersection of solidity and emptiness, serving as a metaphor for perceived stupidity.The collection suggests that the essence of student work often lies in the experience of being a student. Bainbridge's clay heads could be interpreted as a product of a conveyor-belt education system, where the creation of art serves to validate the methods and efforts of educators. Upon reflection, these peculiar head forms contribute to a broader repertoire of images that communicate themes of dysfunction, dehumanisation, and decontextualisation, encompassing both the human body and everyday objects. In later contributions, Bainbridge expanded his artistic scope by isolating organs and transforming them into distinct pieces, indicating a continual exploration of the human condition and the relationship between form and context. This catalogue not only documents Bainbridge's artistic outputs but also invites viewers to engage in a deeper contemplation of the implications of his work within contemporary art discourse.
