Solo show from Brighton's Ben Allen

[artbrighton-blog]

No Walls gallery presents 'Lick Your Own Wounds' a great solo show from the young man they call I-Lib. Photos do not do the work justice and to really appreciate this work you need to see it in the flesh. The show runs till 27th May.

I-LIB solo show opens tonight at 6pm at No Walls Gallery

I-LIB (I LURK IN BUSHES) translates Edwardian fairy tale imagery and a fascination with occult symbolism into poetic visions with surreal and dreamlike atmospheres of anthropomorphic subjects and mysticism as they intertwine Love, Hate, Life, Death, Balance, and challenge these beliefs.

His wondrous folkloric and anthropomorphic animals re-emerge from our childhood memories, illustrating fairy tales that are morally crude and disenchanted but who’s mutations grow and twist up out of a time and place long forgotten by this world.

From the fine and delicate lines in the drawings and hidden messages and meanings within the complex symbolism to the mechanical and interactive sculptures and installations made of dead lifeless objects all lead us into an extraordinarily life-full poetic world that is surely the soul reason Alice went chasing down the rabbit hole.
