The Misplaced Twin

About

Amaia Allende uses groups of found objects with similar characteristics; from dry fish and broken toys to shells and stones Allende’s work explores the subject of belonging. Some of the work has been doctored with locks of hair, feet or arms suggesting individual personalities. Using upholstered boxes, they are sometimes presented like groups of families in theatrical, cosy surroundings, giving them their own comfortable existence, other times as lonely creatures within a world of their own. Originally from Bilbao, Allende has exhibited in several group shows, notably at The Horse Hospital and Tatty Devine, London.

Clive Jennings makes mixed media pieces combining collaged photographs and printed material, with three-dimensional artefacts attached to the glass of the frame. By manipulating one or both elements, he creates new narratives to engage, perplex and hopefully delight the viewer. Jennings has had recent solo exhibitions at Chelsea Arts Club and The French House, Soho, in addition to participating in many group shows.

Jennings works in the Dadaist tradition, elegantly and deftly creating a subversive world that wittily challenges perceptions of normality.

Cristina Reyes is interested in expanding the collective subconscious, and opening new ways of seeing the world. Looking for an alternative to analytical creations, she searches for a mythological understanding of reality. She celebrates deformity by morphing shapes into unexpected forms. The result is often playful and surreal, with a unique sense of humour and absurdity, aiming to arouse a sense of curiosity in the mind of the viewer. Born in Madrid, Reyes’ commissions include Hayward Gallery, Kensington Palace and Victoria & Albert Museum; she has exhibited internationally in Milan, New York, Rio de Janeiro and Tokyo.

All three artists live and work in London.
