GALLERY46 and DUOVISION present five contemporary artists who are working in POP...NOW!In the strange times we find ourselves in, artists are again responding to their immediate surroundings, everyday objects, the iconography of the fridge magnet and postcard, the must have product, the tech toy, the supermarket sale, even their pets.The nagging insanity of lockdown permeates, domestic claustrophobia, obsession, desire, fetishizing seductive glossy surfaces, worshiping the meaningless object, the media-make-believe, vacuous beauty is celebrated.While other galleries show dusty re-runs from those long-gone ambassadors of the 60’s, GALLERY46 presents five contemporary artists who are very much alive, kicking and working in POP...NOW!This exhibition aims to explore the movements impact and influence of on five contemporary LGBTQ artists who continue to observe and explore contemporary pop culture.KELLY-ANNE DAVITT paints sweets, toys, dolls and provocative images of female nudes in a hyper realistic playful pop style. Her electrifying immaculate canvases fuse traditional still life and portraiture with a contemporary approach. Kelly has exhibited many times and here shows recent work created during Covid-19 lockdown alongside some of her most iconic works. www.kellyannedavitt.com/about/DANIEL EDWARDS glues trashy ephemera, price stickers and novelty giveaways onto postcards before scaling up to create large intricate pop paintings. He also recreates beautiful classical portraits on disused cardboard boxes - fusing the desirable with the disposable. This is the first time he has exhibited in London. www.danedwardsart.com/biog.htmlBEX MASSEY’S work examines the throw away nature of British popular culture and the anxiety drifting just below the surface of daily life. Motifs express the consumer gluttony extracted from her 80s/90s childhood memories. She appropriates and refashions this paraphernalia in her paintings fusing traditional techniques with garish colours to create a relevant contemporary canvas. www.bexmassey.com/ladypat produces vibrantly intense and humorous work inspired by icons, history and identity. His eye popping visuals were first screened in nightclubs when he created videos for S-Express, Adamski, Hi-Fi Sean ft Yoko Ono, Scarlet Fantastic and Boy George. His latest work transforms digital images in to hand-made felt pieces creating a new folk pop art form - Compute &amp; Craft. www.ladypat.comORLANDO ROBIN CAMPBELL paints Venn diagrams in different shapes and ‘loud’ colours he can get by using house paint and gouache. The paintings and sculptures were made in his studio in France and some during the recent quarantine period. Orlando grew up with works by Frank Stella, Kenneth Noland, Eduardo Paolozzi and Patrick Caulfield, as his parents collected these artists over the years. He is drawn to the great American Color Field artists of the 1960’s, such as Kenneth Noland and Ellesworth Kelly. www.orlandorobincampbellart.comPOP NOW!
