Unlucky Stars

About

The world around us is crumbling, reality has become dystopian and what about our millennial sense of entitlement? In our desperate and constant craving for love, connection and purpose we search for signs and meaning wherever we can. Our horoscopes become a source of hope and delusion.

Unlucky Stars presents all new work by Robert C. Gray in his first solo exhibition. Curated by Holly Henry Gallery, drawings and sculpture knit together a continued loose narrative of millennial malaise; highlighting the ebbs and flows and manifesting thoughts that make up those whose emotional worlds are afflicted with self-entitlement, latency, obsessive desire, and co-dependency.

Gray’s raw expression of early thirties angst, anxiety, yearning and arrogance reflects back a generation of disappointing and unfulfilled young adults with all the wrong skills and desires. Can they be blamed for their impracticalities and high expectations in life they simultaneously try to make it and make sense of it?

Robert C Gray is a London based artist. His practice consists of mostly sculpture, drawing and mixed media, combining sloppy craft with earnest making, to create idiosyncratic forms of an ad-hoc nature.
