The idea of 18 sculpted killer whales (orcas) might not have had everyone running out to buy a bono bus ticket and head into Santa Cruz, but the exhibition at TEA (Tenerife Espacio de las Artes) held a few surreal surprises and was even slightly disconcerting. Each whale had its own personality and hidden within their painted hides were subliminal treasures; a naked woman in a sea of orcas, an emaciated prisoner, a nightmare-inducing parrot whale and err.… Rolf Harris – well if it wasn’t, it sure as hell looked like him.
