Vanity Monsters Craig Visser
Landscape and still life have been common tropes for artists for centuries, and are still being exploited through social media, the food images and selfies against exotic backdrops that flood our feeds.
The work in this exhibition seeks to evaluate and comment on the constructs we create by focussing on the layering and fragmenting of these images in order to present our best selves, the presentation of lies in order to sell an ideal. While neatly vacuum packed they are tainted by the reality of life. These consumables are fleeting while the work seeks to make you stop, look and think again.
