Tom Gallant, Qui Pourra les Renseigner, 2010, Ink Wash Painting, 85cm x 78cm.
Showing now at the Hoxton Art Gallery, The Pleasure Principal, curated by Director Matthew Nickerson.
The Pleasure Principal investigates the mode of 21st century living and contemporary consumerist culture through the work of four talented contemporaries: Steven Dickie, Rebecca Griffiths, Tom Gallant and Ha Young Kim. Each artist questions our dependence on modern technologies or the perverse and often self-destructive culture of consuming. Art works on display will include sculptural works by Rebecca Griffiths and Steven Dickie, ink wash paintings by Tom Gallant and acrylic paintings on drafting film by Ha Young Kim.
Ha Young Kim, To save a cybernetic mind, acrylic on film.
Steven Dickie, Great Leap Forward, 2012.
Steven Dickie, Great Leap Forward, 2012, digital production still from mixed media sculpture.
Expect plenty of shiny products, quick hits and web addictions as the artists question the relationship between freedom and necessity in our contemporary existence. Looks intriguing!
