First Floor, 32-38 Saffron Hill, Farringdon, EC1N 8FH
PRIVATE VIEW Friday 21st April 6-9pm

‘Unknown Friends’ brings together work from a group of artists spanning disciplines that include painting, sculpture, prose, and photography. The exhibition explores threads of narrative, interwoven by a labour of love; formed in landscapes and materials, observations and people. Each bound by the same eventual disintegration, reincarnation, and regeneration. Through time and loss; through the organic or the digital.

Throughout, is a question of permanence, change, and identity. All questioned through layering textures, materials, or processes. The exhibition aims not to resolve, but instead reflect on these themes throughout the space, between pieces; allowing conversation and discussion to flourish.
