  • About

    In 'The sunlight school', Shaun Gladwell’s mysterious Maddest Maximus character inhabits a coastal landscape with an owl, a symbol of flight and wisdom. This work was projected onto a mist curtain at the entrance of the gallery when it was first shown in Gladwell's 'The lacrima chair' installation at the Sherman Art Foundation in 2015.
