Christina Hayes – End Game | 7- 31 July

On a lonely, deserted beach, a motley crew of pink-cheeked characters dressed in rudimentary costumes made from pillow-cases and belts play out some unfamiliar End Game. Their obligatory shouts of victory and cries of laughter are drowned out by an immense silence. Christina Hayes’ paintings of intense blank faces stare defiantly at us. We want to laugh at these all-too-serious pictures, to ease our discomfort at being voyeur to this theatre of the absurd, but there is the unnerving sense that the world Hayes paints is our world, that her players are just like us.

SPRAWLED across a table in the Sisters Hayes’ Nicholas Building studio is a sequined canvas of a saint who was skinned alive. Esther, the middle Hayes sister, is putting the final touches on his bejewelled innards. As a costume and set designer, she is a firm believer that ”there can never be enough sparkle.”……
