PURE mixed media

FERREIRA PROJECTS would like to announce PURE_mixed media, the final exhibition in the PURE series in which participating artists; Sergio Cruz, Shona Davies & David Monaghan, Antonio Gianasi, Meiso Lai, Vicky Scott, Jane Ward, and Avis Wu have explored how the collage of materials and media can be utilised to distort and shape reality.

The artists each possess there own approach to mixed media, working with paper and found objects, with Photoshop or film editing software, in three dimensions or in two. Here the artists play with the intrinsic properties that mixed media presents, confusion of scale, ambiguity, fragmentation, and consumerist excess, to present their own contorted perspectives and imagined worlds.

PURE_mixed-media is a fitting end to the PURE_series, being a paradoxical contradiction of its own terms. Collages and mixed media are however, more representative of the contemporary world, where everything is interrelated, dissected, spliced, edited, reformed and hybridised and nothing is distinct or ‘pure’.
