Scorched by senility and nostalgia, and wracked by all kinds of hunger, Ed Atkins' \u003cem\u003eOld Food\u003c\/em\u003e lurches from allegory to listicle, from lyric to menu, fetching up a plummeting, idiomatic and crabbed tableau from the cannibalised remains of each form in turn. Written in conjunction with Atkins' exhibition of the same name, \u003cem\u003eOld Food\u003c\/em\u003e is a hard Brexit, wadded with historicity, melancholy and a bravura kind of stupidity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Ed Atkins is an artist who makes all kinds of convolutions of self-portraiture. He writes uncomfortably intimate, debunked prophesies; paints travesties; and makes realistic computer generated videos that often feature figures that resemble the artist in the throes of unaccountable psychical crises. Atkins' artificial realism, whether written or animated, pastiches romanticism to get rendered down to a sentimental blubber - all the better to model those bleak feelings often so inexpressible in real life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEd Atkins is a British artist based in Copenhagen.
