Time (David Shrigley)
David Shrigley was born in 1968 in Macclesfield, UK. He lives and works in Brighton and Devon, UK. In January 2020 the artist was awarded the decoration of Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire or OBE. David Shrigley’s quick-witted drawings and hand-rendered texts are typically deadpan in their humour and reveal chance utterings like snippets of over-heard conversations. Recurring themes and thoughts pervade his storytelling, capturing deliberately two-dimensional views of the world, the perspective of aliens and monsters or the compulsive habits of an eavesdropper shouting out loud. While drawing is at the centre of his practice, Shrigley also works across an extensive range of media including sculpture, large-scale installation, animation, painting, photography and music. Shrigley consistently seeks to widen his audience by operating outside the gallery sphere, including producing artist publications and creating collaborative music projects. His digital animations such as ‘Headless Drummer’ and ‘The Artist’ demonstrate what Shrigley calls ‘the economy of telling stories’, delivering a deftly crafted mix of dark and light through the simplest of forms. In his sculptural works, rendered in materials such as bronze and ceramic, the artist makes physical some of his more curious and eccentric propositions by transforming found objects or by playing with their scale. Taking Lewis Carroll’s perspective of Wonderland, Shrigley enlarges objects and imbues them with curious proportions.

Neon Albert (Laura Selevos)
Neon Albert’ was one of the first portraits I made after moving to Switzerland in 2020 as Einstein spent some years living in Switzerland on the German side; I myself lived in a little town called Nyon, not far from Geneva, on the French side. This little town and the paint shop I found there formed my first ideas of introducing fluorescent paints into my work, adding extra vibrancy and of course I enjoyed the play on words, painting with neon in Nyon. I’ve lost track of how many Einstein portraits I’ve made over the years, but this one is special to be included in such an exhibition, raising funds for a wonderful charity and who better to represent the theme of time, but ‘time is relative’ himself, Albert Einstein. I hope this piece makes you smile and you’re able to perceive time passing a little slower while you enjoy this exhibition!

Stony Lives (Stony)
Antonio Russo’s work is extremely unique as pre diagnosis his work was very different and less extreme, his brain tumour altered his perception and his work changed, and he became Stony. Stony’s works shows ties to urban and street art, with twists of abstraction and features of his own, personal quotes and mantras. He was heavily inspired by his life and family and particularly, in recent years, his battle with cancer. This was a very close cause to his heart, due to his father’s passing of the same disease in 2007. He lived by the motto “make the most of life” and continued to create art until he passed in June 2022. He didn’t have a line of separation between his life and his art; his life was his masterpiece.

Fashioning Cancer 1 (Dr. Jacqueline Firkins & Professor Christian Naus)
Clothing is by its nature an extremely personal art form. It’s literally connected to the body. It changes how someone moves, how they feel about themselves, and how they think others see them. It expresses identity. It also hides identity. It’s an art form that can’t be considered without considering the wearer. Where is she going? What is she thinking? What brings her joy? What brings her sorrow or pain? By using clothing to investigate cellular cancer imagery, we’re able to link the biological impact on the body with the personal, expressive impact on the body. In doing so, we build awareness of the links between the two, through a medium that feels accessible and tactile to the viewer. Our goal with the project is to present a platform for dialogue, to inspire the sharing of personal stories, and through those stories, to create empathy.
