This exhibition looks set to be an interesting one with Andrew Bryant, artist and editor of Artist’s Talking curating five international male artists, who address the issue of male identity and other ideas that surround it, such as violence and aggression.

To accompany the exhibition Andrew Bryant will be conducting an Artist and Curators Talk on the 4th September so pop along if your interested to find out more. Core Gallery seems to be going from strength to strength and so expect good things in the second half of this year.

There is something rather interestingly haunting about this exhibition, each painting is slightly unnerving in that it confronts the viewer with subjects we are not used seeing or discussing such as trauma and taboo. Pixilated images that we cannot decipher and depictions of car crashes draw us into this secretive world of ‘I know what you did last summer.’ Arch seems to embrace topical and popular themes in culture, their programme includes local artists from Deptford and Greenwich, which we like to see. The P&B blog gives this exhibition thumbs up!
