Situated in the Crypt Gallery underneath St Pancras Church near Euston, the
show revolves around the concept of ‘flesh’. In dialogue with each other the
artists produced work using a broad range of media – painting, sculpture,
photography, design, illustration, film.
‘Flesh’ invites us to explore the surface or look under it, in search of underlying
meanings and symbolisms. Coming from different backgrounds and perspectives
the artists explored the theme in a myriad of different ways. The texture of skin,
toughness of muscle tissue, layers of paint, presence and weight of sculpture:
visual or tactile experience of flesh brings limitless associations. Subtlety,
uneasiness, intimacy or provocation are all part of the show. Inspired by nature,
myths, human interaction and behaviour of materials the works complement each
other and the unique surroundings of the gallery space.
