Lacey Contemporary is proud to present ‘Relational Extravaganza : Arbitrary Dreams’ a dynamic multi-media group exhibition encompassing a collection of painting, photography, print and sculpture, created by eight carefully selected, emerging artists and curated by Christina Mitrentse Projects. The exhibition reveals the artists diverse working processes, styles, medium and scale. The seductively deceptive artworks offer a case study of the aesthetical interaction between nature, seduction, & commodification. While the selected artists produce an assortment of highly stimulating visual data there is a common thread holding the works together –in search of Aesthetic Forms and Their Opposites they echoing abstraction.
Gareth Lloyd is a painter whose artwork stems from his doctoral research in philosophy at the University of London, examined ‘Image’ in the light of Derrida’s notion of ‘Return Inquiry’.
Alex Bunn creates supersensory large scale images that explore fresh realms of combined sculpture and photography, and they reconcile disparate perspectives on the world around us.
Jonas Ranson print images engage with the aesthetic experience that emerges from perceiving boundless landscape.
Katrina Kotcheff is a multidisciplinary artist working in photography, film, installation and drawing.
Nana & Felix is a Korean-Finnish artist duo who work on photography-based project. They re-document and re-assemble what they see in those desire-oriented found, public, and superficial images , present in their everyday environment, both online and offline, in order to question their ways of seeing.
Sumer Erek is a multi-disciplinary conceptual creator with extensive experience in public art installation, creating large-scale works and participatory projects in the UK and abroad.
Naoya Inose's work draws from traditional genre of painting Inose uses oil paint techniques to create both meticulously realistic landscapes and abstract oil paintings on canvas which question our perception of and relationship to nature, and the paintings’ historical and current role.
Yutaka Inagowa has a diverse body of work that stems from his fascination with the notion of deceptiveness and integrity in digital photo manipulation and painting.
