In our first exhibition of the year, CHARLIE SMITH LONDON
is pleased to offer a unique opportunity to view our gallery artists and key
collaborators in context. Gallery Director Zavier Ellis states:
“In some ways a gallery artists show is a pretty dull and unimaginative
thing to do. But, on the upside it enables our audience to digest our stable in
context. We are mostly a painter’s gallery, albeit with a curatorial emphasis
that embraces every medium when appropriate. The artists we exhibit are
technical, but this is nowhere near enough in itself. You will find that each
one of them makes work with an intense emotional, philosophical or
psychological charge, and so their work operates in a challenging, profound
way.
These artists are lateral thinkers who know that the
trajectory of history is not as linear as is often presented, and that
everything operates in a complex, non-hierarchical, interconnected way. Embracing
doctrines and tendencies from the modern and postmodern periods, as well as
near and deep history, they conduct their investigation without irony or
sentimentality, but rather with positive affirmation, intelligence and deliberation.
