Private View Tuesday 5 September, 18.30 – 20.30.
Finish born Axel Antas’ multi-disciplinary practice encompasses photography, drawing and video. Recent work develops the artists' interest in displacement and the abstraction of the self as a physical entity.
Large scale drawings feature woods filled with towers of empty cardboard boxes or trees with numerous bird boxes in the branches. In such drawings though a human, or living, presence is suggested the subject is denied and instead becomes an empty sign onto which the viewer can project their own experiences, thoughts and uncertainties.
Antas has been selected to represent Scandinavia at this years Statements Section of the Paris Photo Fair, selected by Andrea Holzerr.
Antas has been selected for the Jerwood Drawing Prize 2006.
