“Jessica Holmes, Max Hymes and others take you on a journey of exploration. Expect a range of work on show, ranging from the most lavish to the most bare but all pursuing the same objective: to assess the need for embellishment. Set to be an eye-opening experience.”
Yessi Bello Perez, Flavorpill
Even the most austere understated artist is an embellisher of sorts as nothing can be stripped away completely as there is always a fiction and pleasure at the heart of every artwork. The pleasure of making and of viewing would arise from the embellishing of ideas and materials, and whether or not the embellishment has become alchemic. Each work requires a different strategy to achieve this act of embellishment. Some artists may explore ideas and materials through excess and opulence, others by pairing down. The artists in this show reflect this arc.
