Curated by Zavier Ellis & Simon Rumley
This exhibition, curated by Zavier Ellis and Simon Rumley, independent English curators, was born from an elaborated reflection on the new aesthetics of young artists that live, work and/or permanently reside in London.
Nine painters, three video makers and one performance artist will exhibit, in whose works lays an obvious influence of fantasy-horror, gothic, electronic and neopunk culture, and absolute nihilism.
Observing their works we find ourselves facing a relentless flux of multi layered cultural references, flipping from anxiety to ecstasy to melancholy to horror. A hypnotic aesthetic binds it all together; in keeping with modern society’s seduction by a mass media that preys upon our increasingly voracious appetite for quick fix fulfilment. Inevitably we end up narcotized, adrift in the void. An alternate space of the apocalyptically sublime erupts from the chasm. Destruction, evolution and survival loop round infinitely: a raging virtual primordial soup, both beautiful and rancid.
