BEERS London curates Baik & Bolaji at SAATCHI Gallery

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

BEERS London presents Bitter Nostalgia, with artists Hyangmok Baik and Adébayo Bolaji, at Saatchi Gallery, from 1 December 2022 to 26 January 2023.

This exhibition presents ideas related to nostalgia as inherently problematic. While both artists shy from factuality in favour of memory, fantasy, and emotion, their art concerns reconfiguring personal and social historicity through both a critical lens and an exuberant palette.

Although each handles this concept through distinct methods and their own personal point-of-view, this exhibition endeavours to explore these connections further.

This is their first time exhibiting together, and entry to the exhibition is free.
