A dancer, stands against a wall in a New York Apartment. He poses for an audience of two, performing gestures in costumes against one of many drapes that will come to furnish the walls. Within the frame of the image a scantily clad Ram Gopal appears -- in a manner that positions him as fervent with exotic promise--alongside the ubiquitous drapery of of an "eastern" print, comprised of various scenes: a eated man carried upon a palanquin; another man climbs a tree pregnant with fruit, one man gestures to a bird beneath a tree, a bear bears its teeth and in the final scene a seated man smokes a pipe typical of West Asian Coffeehouses.
It is from such imagery Maguire finds his modus operandi, using Gopal as both subject proper and proxy, Maguire explores the aesthetics and political histories through close-looking and mimesis working between layers of interconnected histories of orientalist sexuality and race.
The 16 drawings produced between 2023 and 2024 cross representations from varying archival sources between America, Britain and India. The works from detail cropped elements of portraits, film stills from television archives, photographs from the indian diapora in the UK, adaptations from Sri Lankan artist Lionel Wendt .
