Art Exhibition 'Platform for Emerging Arts #13'
Leyden Gallery's forthcoming exhibition Platform for Emerging Arts #13 is a mixed media exhibition that promises a dynamic display from six talented emerging artists in one of East London's most vibrant art spaces.
Responding to a call-out for emerging art, each of the six artists has been selected for their promise and skill by curators Adriana Cerne & Lindsay Moran. Leyden Gallery has shown its astute judgment in recognising emerging talent, as their perception in the past has produced artists who have gone on to both critical acclaim and commercial success.
With the development of each of Leyden Gallery’s Platform shows there is a fabulous opportunity for the public to both see and buy art from emerging artists at a critical early stage of their careers.
Anna Louise Cox’s practice consists in collecting organic material from her local environment and working with them, along with other materials such as thread and recycled paper. Her aim is to create a unique work of art not far removed from their original condition. Through the art of making, the artist is able to question the paradoxical nature of the human relationship with the rest of the natural environment.
Julia Keenan’s practice is explored through the composition of constructed hybrid objects, working within the mediums of sculpture, photography, drawing and collage. Her intention is to delve into the significance of objects, as teaching aids of their time, in response to the intriguing anatomical and botanical models of Dr Auzoux [1797-1880] that make up part of the collection at The Whipple Museum of the History of Science at Cambridge University.
Caroline Thake works as a fine artist closely linking both photography and text into her fascination with dreamworlds, imagination and their link to the unconscious. This led her to focus on the idea of an ‘impossible environment’, built through layering and saturation of image and colour. As a result the abundant layering of images within the flat photographic frame, succesfully mimic the intricacy and confusion of the world of dreams.
