I Love Tomorrow

‘I Love Tomorrow’ is not a theme. It isn’t a title that aptly conjures up in your imagination the work it entails. It is the only title that reflects the way in which the artists work; from today’s influence, today. What does a Cyclops pirate actually look like, and what is it like to drive through a brain? The work is different, it is humorous, witty and everything is for sale. Abbie Canning; Out of the plethora of the things in the world, it is the detail that has the potential to expand and change ones perception of the whole. So I stop. I look. I listen. And I look again. Occasionally, I risk crossing the road. Greg Cox; It has been known that specific objects go well together. A Union Jack flag and a lemon for instance, I have been pointed out, ‘make sense’. The question is; why? And then how? And then why? This is the crux of the conundrum that I have been considering over recent years. How can two objects put together, somehow make sense? A pane of glass, and a carrot, make sense. It is an absurd thing to be able to take disparate objects and make them ‘make sense’, but its great. Joe Hallam; The work in the show is an ongoing movie showing a remote-control car’s journey to the centre of the brain. Exploring the language of film and sculpture, the work walks a tightrope between reality and fiction. Using film techniques and props to distort depth and scale, the work aims to trigger the viewer’s own imagination, but also allow this world to fall apart again. Liam Scully; After spending many years in Birmingham Liam Scully moved to London where he is now based. He has experienced it all in the big city from becoming an alcoholic to being mugged on a regular basis always whilst staggering home after private views. He loves movies and has a lovely collection of DVDs from comedies to ridiculous horror movies. "I love getting wasted but I have realised it is taking its toll on my life and if I don’t calm down I will be dead before I’m sixty, yes I will be drinking tonight"Scully’s new work is raw and quirky reflecting his often state of confusion at the world; he celebrates horror, drink, sex, culture, movies and basically anything that affects his day-to-day life. And they are drawings for now. Scully's drawings sell extremely well worldwide, except in Birmingham. Captain Ed; Captain Ed presents a sequence of fifteen drawings from an ongoing maritime project. Drawing from Greek Myths, French poetry, pirate history and other disparate sources, he fuses humour with pathos, beauty with disgust. Like the sea he is never still...
