Into The Bliss: A Group Exhibition by ActionSpace Artists

Participating artists: Immanuel Adelowo, James Heath, Ibrahim Keelson, Donald Fasanya, Nicky Harris, and Charlotte Maclean

Into The Bliss is a collaborative exhibition by six ActionSpace artists working across painting, drawing, sculpture, sound and installation.

Brought together in response to themes prominent in Immanuel Adelowo and James Heath’s practice, the show is presented as an otherworldly cave to explore. Both Immanuel and James’s practices take us to mysterious destinations, telling stories of their own personal travels, world history and invented places.

Led by Immanuel Adelowo, the six artists have worked collectively to conceive the space. Draped fabrics and painted wallpaper bring you into a dark, strange labyrinth where the individual artworks play characters telling stories of secret superhero lairs, wild animals and strange ceremonies.

Sound design and assemblages by James Heath bring further narrative to the space, mining themes of mysterious ships, flashing lights and deep woods.

Donald Fasanya’s paintings and drawings explore the natural and human world more literally with a hint of the magical, whilst Nicky Harris’s superhero portraits live in the exhibition like Batman in his cave or Superman in his fortress of solitude.

Ibrahim Keelson and Charlotte Maclean’s abstract paintings and their floating forms evoke crystals in the rock, dripping water, skies and landscapes. In this presentation their works add to the textures of the space as well as existing as standalone pieces.

Wednesday – Sunday, 11:00 am – 6:00 pm
Free admission, all welcome.
