About
1 Lower Clapton Road are proud to present the debut show of UNVRSLNMD.Join us on a journey of ‘astro-spection’!
After only 1 year of painting the ex-pro-boxer turned artist delivers you a knock out show. On entering UNVRSLNMD’s studio, you’re immediately aware that you are in a new world.
Creating landscapes and scenarios that deal with the battle of capitalist modern life, ego and the external, UNVRSLNMD takes you on a journey of introspection and ‘astro-spection’. Looking in and looking out.
Illustrating the obstacle course that the concrete jungle provides, the work leaves clues and messages into the artists psyche, simultaneously making the viewer question their own.
Bigger than the self, UNVRSMND acts as a channel, examining modern day ideologies and presenting the paradox they present.
The gold you perceive as success, will be your demise.
‘The King is still a pawn, in the same system as you, the game, the same jail. This is the ego fest of wanting the king’s cell! You can’t avoid that; it’s looking right back at you!’
The characters that form the games and sports we see in the imagery, are epic time travellers, whoever you choose them to be, hero’s and villains, winners and losers, sinners and saints.
‘Most of the time I’m not there, im just gone with it.’
