Newport Street Gallery presents Raging Planet, a group exhibition of works by Angela Bulloch, Roger Hiorns, Oliver Marsden, Hwang Samyong, Bosco Sodi, and Keith Tyson.
Spanning three galleries, the show explores different ways artists engage with the natural world through paintings, sculptures, and installations.
Raging Planet highlights the use of texture and materiality across various works. Roger Hiorns showcases sculptures and paintings encrusted with copper sulphate crystals. His work often uses unconventional materials like industrial objects and organic substances. Bosco Sodi’s large-scale paintings incorporate sawdust, pigment, and other natural materials, creating surfaces that resemble weathered landscapes. Keith Tyson’s works, in which paint and chemicals react on acid-primed aluminium panels, highlight the unpredictable forces of nature.
Also on show is The Power and The Glory, an exhibition featuring a selection of scholars’ rocks, displayed alongside archive photographs documenting the atomic age.
