Last night saw the unveil of the Converse/Dazed Emerging Artist Award exhibition at Londonewcastle Project Space in Shoreditch. Granted that when I walked into the space, my eyes were somewhat immediately drawn to the hypercolour reality of a bare ass on a plasma screen surrounded by plinths and prints, or as the artist Royal Academy graduate Adham Faramawy would describe “exploring the formal points of contact between the physical and non-physical”.
Preoccupied by bodies, Adham’s work investigates what it means to represent and mediate flesh across image platforms – the body, the city, the screen. It holds this hypnotic sensuality and to an extent pours colour palate inspiration from Joshua Light Show into a multi-dimensional cyber reality that still bears this raw humanity.
The exhibition runs until November 5th at Londonewcastle Project Space in Shoreditch, it’s something you really should experience. Adham’s solo exhibition will take place from 17th January to 23rd February at Cell Project Space.
