System History: An exhibition with Jack Addis

This week, and very timely coinciding with the launch of his limitied edition print for Rise Art 'Jean-Michel Basquiat', we are happy to announce our brand new Select Artist Jack Addis' participation in 'System History', an exciting group exhibition taking place in Bristol.

System History groups three artists, Jack Addis, Alex Cotterell and Will Kendrick, with similar set of interests, namely exploring the production of identities within the current urban-landscapes and new technologies, and who produce work in a wide-range of media:  from the Jack Addis' digital collages to video works or installation.

It sounds incredibly exciting and, judging by the excellent works produced by these three young artists, we are sure it will be a mesmerizing show.

If you happen to be in Bristol, do not miss!

SYSTEM HISTORY PRESS RELASE

Natural order offers the primary ideal from which the constructs of human society derive. Forms. Colours. Spaces. Flows. Differences. Repetition. Systems grown out of a history inherently connected with universal balance.

The urban infrastructure, with all its concrete, congestion and commerce, seemingly contradicts its systematic origins through an absence of the natural. Yet this contradiction, this detachment, is only perceived.

Urban spaces have become the neo-natural, the landscapes of progression, and the contemporary fields of connection. Spaces punctuated with a kaleidoscopic sensory overload of ideas, images and messages.

The dynamic and fluctuating signage of places built on consumption, narrate the vivid hues, digital compositions and fluorescent filled inspirations of those who reside within the cities ceaseless boundaries.

System History draws together three artists who have considered the position of humanity from within these urban-landscapes, from the physical to the virtual, through the petro-plastic to the packaged and pixelated. Vibrant. Ecstatic. Eclectic. Immediate.
