THIS IS A GROUP SHOW!

Liquid Gold Studios

"THIS IS A GROUP SHOW," which will take place at the Liquid Gold Studio space. This exciting exhibition aims to connect artists across London and create a supportive platform for aspiring and emerging talent. The show will commence with an Opening Night on the 9th of June and will be open to the public for viewing and engagement for an entire week thereafter.

Art should never be a game for the lone wolf; it flourishes best when nurtured within a community. "THIS IS A GROUP SHOW" exemplifies the essence of collaboration and the spirit of collective growth. By providing a space where artists can come together, share ideas, and inspire one another, we believe that the possibilities for artistic innovation are limitless.

HERE ARE SOME OF THE ARTIST!

Dio Dunbar

“My paintings represent spaces that the real world lacks - landscapes that are inviting and joyful for black queer people, landscapes that don’t evoke trauma and fear. I want to do more than just paint narratives that centre people like me - I want to illustrate inside the void society leaves for marginalised people to float in.

Living life mentally outcasted, or having an acute awareness of your difference from people puts you in a place of social exclusion - and you can mask to fill that gap but the awareness of it is depressing in itself.  I use my art to create the environments I and others yearn for. Being black can be lonely. And even more so as your proximity to normativity decreases.”

Sam Wootton

'My work often leans upon artifice as a reclaimed source of pride. We're in an age where 'real' has fallen through, and the worlds of technology, post-modernism and meme culture have seeped into the cracks. I enjoy constructing this slow substitution as an act of magic. The future doesn't have to be a dystopian hellscape, but can be conceptualised as an increasingly magical space wherein we can become anything.

Through my work I build a lore, or a mythological landscape, where creative minds are no longer underfunded and misprioritised, but reimagined as wizards, fairies and nymphs. Harnessing the power of inter-disciplinary creative wizardry, we build a new, not yet imagined, future.'

Suby Tamang

Suby Tamang is the maker behind Tama Ceramics. She is a London-based ceramic artist/sculptor. Suby’s signature style explores tactility and functionality ware by working with textural clays such as crank and Vulcan Black. she is currently working on hand-built biomorphic sculptures which are an extension of her practice in mindfulness.

WORK TITLE – SCULPTURE 04 –

This piece explores the artist's relationship with clay and her ongoing journey of learning and self-discovery. As a practical and activity-orientated individual, Tamang reflects on the meditative state she experiences when connecting with nature and her surroundings through tactile interaction.

On the subject of sensory perception, Tamang considers the sense of touch as often undervalued and overlooked in comparison with the others. The world has become increasingly disconnected from nature, with the sensation of touch and diversity of textures lost due to the advent of increasingly more immersive and distracting technologies.

Philippa Brocklehurst

Phil (b. 1993) is a London based photographer currently working as an assistant art director for film & TV. She studied Design for Performance at the Central School of Speech and Drama. Within her practice, Phil explores semi-autobiographical documentation of her own life through portraiture of her friends and loved ones.

She strives to capture an unalloyed rendition of the people being photographed, exploring the familiarity, intimacy and vulnerability through the process of analogue.
