About
Concealer presents the work of five contemporary artists working with photography, photo collage and video, exploring new abstract languages and visual systems. The artworks on display either bear little resemblance to our recognisable visual world or actively attempt to obfuscate through different strategies of abstraction. In a time when the potency of the photographic image as a fast, digital carrier of information continues to rise and proliferate, the artworks that form Concealer, drawn from Mexico, America, the Netherlands and the UK, intentionally conceal rather than reveal.
