Conclave Presents: PERSUASION (Billy Chainsaw & Girl Shit)
15/07/2023 @ 11:00 am - 23/07/2023 @ 6:00 pm
PERSUASION brings together the work of BILLY CHAINSAW and GIRL SHIT: two artists who share a love of 20th Century subcultures and their visual iconography.
PERSUASION is often the currency of creatives and those who seek the “other” in a bid to suggest what lies between the gaps in the world. It is also something that free thinking often works against in the seeking of truths.
In their separate – but complementary – ways, these artists examine the contradictions and hypocrisy within mainstream society that these subcultures have brought to light, and the pervasive impact that dangerous unchallenged authority can have on us all as individuals.
Girl Shit is a fine artist exploring propaganda, subculture and female narrative magick. Her work moves fluidly through painting, sculpture, installation, drawing, printmaking, and artist merch; asking questions and exploring alternate possibilities. For this show Girl Shit is showing a series of original collage works and an installation featuring a selection of works from the “ASTRAL TRAVEL LUGGAGE Co.” Instagram: @girlshitgirl |
Billy Chainsaw is an internationally collected, British, contemporary Dark Pop Artist, whose work uses a fertile mix of pulp and the arcane to engage with ideas of mortality, magick and sensuality. 1960s bogeyman, Charles Manson, is one of the most recognisable faces of the 20th century. Through his latest artworks in this show, Billy Chainsaw shines a transformative light on the quintessential antihero and presents him as a Pop Art Idol. Chainsaw says: “my intention isn’t to glamorise violence, but to depict that it’s possible to discover beauty in the badness.“ Website: koolkrakenincorporated.com / Instagram: @billychainsawhoulston |
