We're very excited to be bringing you a major solo exhibition by David Shillinglaw.

Fresh from a month long residency in Cape Town and just back after spreading the love in New York, David is full of creative energy which can only fuel his new works. Having been busy in China, Istanbul, Japan & Holland in recent years, his appeal is broadening and his work garnering attention:

Fuelled by the constant search for and consumption of that which makes us complete; human beings spend the majority of their lives struggling to survive, strive, succeed and find answers to their existential quest. These answers come in many forms, religion, full time jobs, children, addictions, fitness, meditation, relationships…the list goes on and translates into every language and culture.

“I see a dual-characteristic in all of us; the momentary instinct versus a conscious foresight; something like living-in-the-moment, while making a ten-year plan. We react to our environment and conditions, while formulating ideas about how to prepare for the future. Our daily grind consumed with reactions, sensations and momentary conclusions. These conclusions feed us and fill the void; the decisions we make, act as stopping points on a larger, ever growing map.

‘All You’ll Ever Need’ is a false prophesy; an advertisement, designed to entice an audience into believing there is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, but there is no pot of gold, only a rainbow. The exhibition attempts to highlight the chaos and contradictions we deal with, juggling what we need and what we want, the chaos of the moment set against the choices of the bigger picture.”

The artworks reflect a child-like view of an often dark place: the modern world. Deliberately naïve and flattened, mimicking the visual language of board games, maps, anatomical studies and automatic doodles. Mixing multiple influences and collections of received messages, image bites, image burns, and the after-glow of both the trivial and the significant. Sitting somewhere between abstraction, pop and surrealism, the exhibition presents a catalogue of older and recent works, all studies of the Human Condition.
