I AM HERE:

My work comes from restlessness, disquiet. It is the investigation of this disturbance - its associations and emotions - that is the base and the development of the paintings.

The theme of my work for this exhibition is journeys. From there, home, to here, exile, from whole to broken, and the resolution: from being a shattered nothing to becoming something new.

When you look at an image you also get what you bring, of course. We collaborate, you co-create with me: that is what this work is for. 

When something matters I transpose it into an image — that is also the journey of the work and of your engagement. I hope these paintings  offer you a sort of mirror.

ONE NIGHT ONLY:

One Night Only is an experimental group exhibition that reflects the individual concerns and interests of the artists involved. Nine artists come together to “take a moment to pause” in their practice and reflect on the work that has been created. 

With practices that consider conceptual questions concerning history, time and memory; to relationships, connections and attachments; to the idiosyncrasies of the self, body and space; to practical and aesthetic concerns in terms of the role of painting, mark-making, and creative production and presentation in the 21st Century. 

Following individual lines of enquiries and reflection, the nine artists exhibit within the impressive derelict alms house in Peckham, known as the Asylum, with the aim of inviting an audience to experience and share this momentary “pause” of their work within this unique atmosphere, echoing its own rich history. 

From installation, ceramic sculpture and object art, to film, photography and contemporary painting, the exhibition features playful and experimental work that often tests the boundaries of media and form. 

The artists came together whilst studying on the City Lit Arts’ Creative Practice: Personal Project course, a prestigious one-year programme designed for practitioners wishing to develop and expand a personal area of interest and research with the aim of “building a body of art work, and to realise one’s creative thinking and practice within a group setting.” The exhibition represents the culmination of their studies, as well as the launch pad for further exploration and development as emerging contemporary practitioners. 

ANA MEJIA:

The theme of my work for this exhibition is journeys and family journeys.  From there, home, to here, exile, from whole to broken, from being a shattered nothing to becoming something new; the delight, pain and strange rejigging of love.

When you look at an image you also get what you bring, of course. We collaborate, you co-create with me: that is what my work is for.

When something matters a lot to me I transpose it into an image  — that is  the journey of the work and of your engagement.

As images do not need the clarity that speech does I hope to offer you a sort of mirror.
