A visit to Sorcha Dallas gallery to look at the exhibition Seventh Heaven by Berlin-based artist Raphael Danke (born 1970).
‘Although the legacy of Surrealism is everywhere traceable in the collages, photography and sculptures of Raphael Danke, he wittily re-envisages that legacy in the context of the society of the spectacle.’ (Sarah Lowndes)
