Mirroring the album’s seminal track ‘Jokerman’, intricate webs of meaning and layers of cultural and historical references reveal themselves to the viewer upon detailed examination.
On view now at 148 New Bond Street.
Bob Dylan
Dylan, who has achieved success in every artistic form to which he has put his hand, has an outstanding creative range. Exhibited here are American landscapes from 2015, as well as more recent watercolours painted in the last year, alongside handwritten song lyrics and welded ironwork sculptures.
Dominic Harris
Digital artist Dominic Harris’ reverence for nature, coupled with his fascination for code, offers a surreal and whimsical take on reality. His works fundamentally rely on participation and the exchange between artist and viewer to bring to life these intricately created worlds. His artwork Limitless takes inspiration from the biblical story of The Tower of Babel, a symbol of humanity’s hubris and inexhaustible ambition, the golden bricks are compiled in the form of a tower.
Mitch Griffiths
With a 17th century artistic sensibility echoing the Baroque style of Old Masters such as Caravaggio and Diego Velázquez, painter Mitch Griffiths explores themes of identity, conflict, and pop culture through richly layered iconography. Painstakingly detailed, these beautiful scenes often offer darker or more complex messaging which the viewer is invited to interpret in their own way.
Santiago Montoya
Santiago Montoya uses paper money as a material to question themes of political propaganda, history, and idealism. These meticulously constructed artworks are a visual representation of his research and keen observation in the form of carefully ordered abstracts.
Ernesto C谩novas
The exhibition also showcases monumental scenes by Ernesto Cánovas whose semi-abstract paintings capture a fleeting moment in time by using a multilayered technique suggesting ambiguity and nostalgia.
Pedro Paricio
Pedro Paricio has an all-embracing view of painting that crosses the boundaries between the abstract and figurative, the object and narrative. The artist thinks in the past, present and future all at once: ‘A work of art is not only today, it is simultaneously yesterday and tomorrow.’
