FLUX Exhibiton: 140 Contemporary Artists Curated By Lisa Gray

 

FLUX Exhibition, 2nd – 6th November 2016

FLUX exhibition contains incredible unconventional art curated by Lisa Gray, London’s leading light in art. Gray has managed to bring together 140 contemporary artists, some of the most exceptional art pieces done by some of the most iconic names of tomorrow. The atmosphere was electric, an impeccably curated art oven housing tremendous fruits that clearly matured with time, patience creating rare skill. Creating much-needed exposure for undercover artists to the finer details where you actually engage in a conversation with the artists gathered. Surrounded by varying experimental pieces from sound installations to ceramic vases, the abundance of mini masterpieces capture a range of emotive responses as art should.

“A carefully curated exhibition the size of an art fair” Lisa Gray

Your vision is impaired as you feel like Charlie in the chocolate factory, a hazy perspective focuses your retinas on the art displayed, thinking of leaving brings up feelings of withdrawal symptoms. The mix between dark and dysfunctional creates an addictive poison using artist such as Tomas Harker and Darren Baker. An example of rare artistry, vivid storytellers who create a familiarity in their work using a rawness that’s alluring and suffocating. Harker fabricate’s dark wonderlands, glowing full of violence in their frames yet being disturbingly erotic. Enjoying the violently uncanny journey Harkers pieces force you to misread as classic paintings you begin to see the relationships of power and understand his ideologies he explores. The calibre of portrait artists such as Baker show the technical excellence, conveying personality and individuality in western art that ive never experienced before. Bakers manufactured style, swims against the tide of portrait artists using three motivating sequential forces that drive society, money, sex and power.

Flux brings genuine art sourced using the accuracy of instinct, walking through the exhibition was a climatic event to be enjoyed.
