'Mutations' Group Exhibition At Tiwani Contemporary - 30.05.14 - 05.07.14

Mutations is a group show bringing together recent dynamic works on paper by four international artists: Ruby Onyinyechi Amanze (Nigeria/US), Douglas Rodrigo Rada (Bolivia), Helô Sanvoy (Brazil), and Shoshanna Weinberger (Jamaica/US). All artists have exhibited frequently and across the globe, though this is the first time their work is being shown in the UK. 

The works in the exhibition are broadly diverse in technique, scale and imagery, but share an interest in pushing the boundaries of drawing as a medium, often employing unexpected materials such as photographic transfers, glitter, enamel and coffee. The works also share a focus on the hybrid, the liminal, the fragmented and the centered as fundamental elements of the human experience, and as devices through which to probe the possibilities of the medium. 

Ruby Onyinyechi Amanze’s (image attached) works feature a bestiary of wild animals, ghost-like figures, alien entities and architectural elements. The works in the exhibition were inspired by amanze’s travels in Nigeria where she conceived ada, an alien alter ego often present in her work and whose evident alterity echoes amanze’s own experience of non-belonging.
