About this artwork
“The Dark Island” is a metaphorical place taken from a little-known 1934 novel by Vita Sackville-West and is a symbol of all romantic yearning and obsessive desire as well as an escape from all the humdrum misery of everyday life. It is a grouping of nine framed 37.5 x 30 cm (overall 112.5 x 90 cm) found photographs and screengrabs arranged in a tight grid. This is art for sophisticated adults not averse to welcomed (or terribly upset by casual)…
groping. But the joke here – harkening back to an early Roy Lichtenstein (“I Can See the Whole Room . . .”) – that the elfin man in the middle is ogling you, the viewer, assessing the possibility of a quick little fondle and giggle . . .

Bruce Eves was the recipient of the Governor-General’s Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Visual and Media Arts in 2018 and was the subject of Peter Dudar’s feature-length documentary “Bruce Eves in Polari” that premiered at The Power Plant. Eves was ranked 26th on the Alt-Power100 list compiled by ArtLyst (UK). In the past he was assistant-programming director at the Centre for Experimental Art and Communication (CEAC) in the late 1970s; and throughout the 1980s was the co-founder and chief archivist of the International Gay History Archive (now housed in the Rare Book and Manuscript division of the New York Public Library). Eves continues an active practice of exhibiting and curating on the cutting-edge, and in recent years has pushed the envelope further by expanding his work to include spoken-word projects performed monthly at the Black Eagle bar’s Dirty Queer Poetry Nights. Eves lives and works in Toronto and seeks representation. His CV can be viewed at www.bruceeves.net
