POSTCARDS FROM DYSTOPIA @ Nolias Gallery, London UK

From December 3rd - December 21st 2009 I'll be exhibiting in London, in a goup show curated by Tutte Newall called "Postcards from Dystopia".
Dystopia is defined here as "the vision of a society in which conditions of life are miserable and characterized by poverty, oppression, war, violence, disease, pollution, nuclear fallout and/or the abridgement of human rights, resulting in widespread unhappiness, suffering, and other kinds of pain". Pretty cool right? ;)

Postcards from Dystopia
“A futuristic or imagined territory where a universal menace prevails”
 
An international exhibition of thirty artists presenting visions of a menacing universe with a collection of postcard sized works. This is in conjunction with a showcase of larger paintings of ominous dystopian territories by Tutte Newall and Andrew Hladky.
 
Our present culture holds a fascination with the concept of our own ordered civilization's collapse into chaos. 'Postcards from dystopia' explores this idea by delving into the realms of the imaginary and issuing visions from a dystopian and desolate environment.
