Future Primitive is the final instalment in a series of exhibitions co-curated by Paul Johnson, which examines the rise of subjectivity within contemporary art. The series started with ‘World.B’ (Jan 04) and continued with the ‘Prophet Royal Robertson Retrospective’ (Jan 05), both at FLACA gallery.
This exhibition brings together artists from a range of backgrounds, from self-taught to the knowing, who all explore the visionary experience whilst simultaneously constructing fantastic obsessive worlds.
The show examines drawing as a tool for deeper investigation as opposed to a form of preparation. The key to unlocking the drawings within the gallery is to see the bleed from a analytic reality to a subjective domain.
‘Future Primitive’ has been made possible by the generous loans from a number of private collections, with particular thanks to John and Maggie Maizels who have loaned previously unseen works from the Raw Vision Art Collection.
