Zap Open 2014 has been guest curated by Juan Bolivar, the selectors were Rosalind Davis, Annabel Tilley, Juan Bolivar and Andrew Bick.
"This exciting new show features a rich array of painting and sculpture
that take pride in cocking a 'tongue-in-cheek' snoop at the viewer"
The 23 artists are as follows:
Christian Anstice, Guy Bigland, Benjamin Deakin, Tinsel Edwards, Neill Fuller, Alistair Gordon, Luey Graves, Matthew Hill, Sofia Nathalie Kynigopoulou, Paula MacArthur, Enzo Marra, Jane Morter, James Null, Will Reid, John Richert, Greg Rook, Mark Sadler, Pina Santoro (Ellwood), Paul Smith, Kelly Sweeney, Rob Welch, Joella Wheatley, and Neil Zakiewicz
There is an online catalogue to accompany the exhibition which features essays from the selectors and Lex Thomas.
My painting: 'Lovely Period Style New Build, £380 per week' is from a series of work which explores the issues surrounding the housing crisis in London. Annabel Tilley describes it as: "The grimmest fairytale miniature which could easily be a depiction of a stage set with a single bed, wash basin, and glaring light bulb".
The show opens tonight 6-8.30pm @
ASC Studios, Bond House, Goodwood Road, New Cross Gate, SE14 6BL
