HEAVEN IN A WILD FLOWER

TERESA BUSUTTIL . INÈS COOK . CHIRANJIKA GRASBY . LILY TRNOVSKY . SIAN WATSON

Curated by Chiranjika Grasby

In today’s society we’re faced with decreasing social bonds, a new yearning for intimacy, and a constant flood of bad news leaving us longing for safe places and salvation. This sentiment is reflected in today’s visual art, seeping into the minds of creatives. A contemporary reimagining of Romanticism – an artistic and intellectual movement of the late 18thC – is shining through as we are confronted with a revival of traditional work. Artists Teresa Busuttil, Inès Cook, Chiranjika Grasby, Sian Watson, and Lily Trnovsky have taken up the Romantic spirit. Yet, beyond the desire for the paradisiacal, beautiful, and magical, an eerie darkness is present. Through painting, video, and sculpture, the artists provide an insight into a Utopia doomed for failure.
