- What they're doing is anyones guess: They could be skaters in a rink, children in a playground, soldiers in a war or masqueraders at a crazy carnaval. The props littered around offer no clues. The interpretation, like the movement, is fluid, the setting is the great concourse of life.
In this new work the mystery has, if anything, deepened. The movement is jerkier, the rhythms more staccato, the figures wirier, like pip-cleaners bent by a fractious child. In amongst the big bright canvases are black and white monoprints that offer sober pauses for reflection. Some, like Wall Drawing, have the sad sense of deflation of a party when the music has stopped. Whatever mania fuels Huxley's figures, you get the sense it could be running out and the dread of what may happen when it does has you praying they don't stop the carnival.
