They are an inescapable part of the human condition and epic poetry is one of the earliest art forms to explore this. This month, both Dante&#8217;s &#8216;Divine Comedy&#8217; written in Italian in the 14th century and Virgil&#8217;s &#8216;The Aeneid&#8217; produced in latin between 29 and 19 BC, \u00a0are back on the scene. This time they are being explored through contemporary art exhibitions and illustrated poems. Yet this isn&#8217;t the first time contemporary culture has looked to the literary greats for guidance. Cult TV series &#8216;The Sopranos&#8217; has referenced Dante&#8217;s inferno within the Divine Comedy and some view science-fiction series &#8216;Battlestar Galactica&#8217; as modelled on Virgil&#8217;s story. In this case, Dante\u2019s epic poem is brought to life by Henry Hussey at the Transition gallery in London. Opening to the public on the 14<sup>th<\/sup> of January. The exhibition named \u2018The Dark Wood\u2019, references the beginning of Dante&#8217;s journey before he descends into hell (Dante writes himself as the main character) where he meets corrupt politicians, other literary artists and demonic creatures. The exhibition takes Dante\u2019s conundrum at the beginning of his journey in a desolate forest, and uses it as a metaphor for such fears that contemporary Artists may have in their practice. Dante\u2019s exile from Florence in the 14<sup>th<\/sup> century, placed him not only in physical isolation but psychological exile as well, this unquestionably informed his prolific text, making his dark wood more than just a physical space but a mental one as well.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0The dark wood that Dante wrote of, is perhaps the perfect place for contemporary artistic practice. There are no conventions, you can explore your fears and take risks within your work. It exists on the margins \u00a0of the mainstream. The exhibition\u2019s five featured artists, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sarabermanartist.com\">Sara Berman<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lauraanndavis.com\">Laura Davis<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/johnnyhoglund.com\">Johnny Hoglund<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ameliabarratt.com\">Amelia Barratt<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.deanmelbourne.com\/painting-201516.html\">Dean Melbourne<\/a> all in some form reflect this. Sara Berman, whom worked originally as a designer, produces paintings, which tap into a certain apprehension surrounding the human body. There is something uncanny about them and they feel strangely familiar. Johnny Hoglund\u2019s struggle with illness is reflected through his paintings of human figures confined in factory like suits while Amelia Barratt fills the space, with sketches that evoke her psychological fears and inner conflicts. The exhibition re-interprets Dante\u2019s experience, and the works combine to make a space that both suggests claustrophobia that also spurs on artistic innovation.

On the 24<sup>th<\/sup> of January, an illustrated version of <em>The Aeneid Book VI, <\/em>is to be released. Featuring a collaboration between the great Seamus Heaney, (the project started in 2013, however after his passing away, Seamus Heaney\u2019s family carried on the collaboration) and the Mexico based architect Jan Hendrix. The event will take place at the Shapero modern, in which Hendrix\u2019s illustrations from the book will be shown to the public. Heaney, having previously translated <em>Beowulf (<\/em>that is now widely read and enjoyed) chose Virgil\u2019s <em>Aeneid, <\/em>book six to translate and we are grateful that he did<em>.<\/em>\u00a0More classic literature has become both re-worked and accessible.<em>\u00a0<\/em>The book features Aeneas\u2019s descent into the underworld and his meeting with the spirit of his father. Hendrix illuminates the text with deeply atmospheric illustrations. This collaboration much like \u2018The Dark Wood\u2019 exhibition, re-vamps epic poetry and whether or not you have read Dante or Virgil, a modern day trip into the underworld whether it be through visual art or poetry, \u00a0is not one to miss.
