BSMT will be signing off 2022 with HARDCORE, a banger of an exhibition by Ryan Callanan aka RYCA. It’s a trip into the world of Acid House, full of melting smiley faces and pulsating yellows.
About
The continuous beat of drum and rave music roots collide once again with popular culture motifs, the result is a visual celebration of all things acid!
A show of canvas, sculpture, prints and toys, RYCA puts to practice his academic training in printmaking, sign writing, 3-D design and industrial model making to deliver a repertoire of work continuing his exploration and celebration of all things Acid House.
The symbols incorporated in his art are inherently universal, masterfully blended, cross-referenced and recontextualised; their meaning is slightly changed yet strangely familiar. RYCA draws upon popular culture and is heavily influenced by 90’s Rap and Hip Hop, everyday colloquial phrases and symbols drawn from British culture.
HARDCORE offers something for everyone! With the opening night featuring a line-up of DJ’s and drinks generously sponsored by our partners at Duvel, what better way to sign off the year.
To attend the opening night on Thursday, December 1st (6 – 9) please RSVP with your name to: hello@bsmt.co.uk.
Find us at 529 Kingsland Rd, London, E84AR.
The gallery is open Wednesday - Sunday 10-5 and Saturday from 10-6
