21st Century is a collection of artwork combining photography and comicbook art to highlight some of the bleaker sides of society.

About

"I've received the question in the past, 'why do you wear that thing? Why can't you just be yourself?' And my answer is because then I would be like any other contemporary artist".

21st Century is a collection of artwork combining photography and comicbook art to highlight some of the bleaker sides of society. Together with this, up and coming artist Victor BOXMAN Nobis  will showcase a range of his previously exhibited artwork and sell prints on the spot. Victor aims to present the contemporary art scene differently, showcasing a quirky style that fuses modern interpretations in a vibrant comicbook style, all while posing as his alternate ego, BOXMAN, to some a talking TV, to others, just an ordinary guy with a box on his head. The idea came from the current age of constant surveillance society, being that of the internet, social media and overflow of information.

"We live in a time where screens are everywhere, we can't avoid them and we are slowly turning into automated representations by the technology we use. I thought the idea of a talking TV poses some ironic elements to the whole digitalized scenario. It's like imagining one of those moments when you FaceTime or Skype with a relative. It's fully natural to us today, so talking to a guy with a TV on his head shouldn't be that strange, right?"

The event will run for a week from 4th January. Prints and artwork will be sold at the spot.
