This exhibition brings together a group of five artists who invite us to look again — to question how we see, what we trust, and how meaning is shaped through visual language.
Whether through geometry, symbolism, illusion or memory, each work shifts our perspective of space and truth. Some embrace precision and form; others lean into narrative, nostalgia or surreal disorientation. A charged undercurrent of emotion runs throughout — from the surreal to the sardonic — revealing how visual storytelling can both seduce and unsettle.

Dark humour and cultural critique flow through The Connor Brothers’ mixed media, encouraging viewers to look beyond surface appearances and confront deeper currents of meaning.
Will Martyr’s architectural compositions crystallise nostalgia into perfect geometric harmony, his poolside scenes acting as portals into utopian environments that blur memory with aspiration. Their stillness evokes both longing and distance — moments suspended between desire and recollection. Similarly, digital dreamworlds unfold as Giovanni Motta’s alter ego JonnyBoy navigates childhood wonder colliding with contemporary anxiety.

Everyday domesticity is transformed into vibrant celebrations through Cooper’s kaleidoscopic palette, reimagining the familiar as something newly seen, while emotional warmth hums beneath the surface. KEAN’s mastery of gradients opens doorways to parallel dimensions where colour becomes pure atmosphere — his works acting as windows that separate the real world from dreamlike realms beyond. His canvases do not depict space — they breathe it.

Together, these artists trace a journey through altered states of seeing — from architectural paradise to digital unconscious, from domestic euphoria to abstract meditation, finally arriving at sardonic reality. Each offers a distinct lens through which to consider how we construct meaning from visual experience, reminding us that perception is never fixed — it is felt, fractured, and continually reimagined.
