Owen Calvert 'MONO' @ Sprout Arts - 6th to 17th February 2018
At Sprout Arts we aim to show a diverse range of artwork and following the natural world of the Chestnut Avenue exhibition we are delighted to have Owen Calvert showing, for the first time at Sprout Arts, his collection of black and white photographs that explore how architecture and the urban landscape have an impact on the human psyche. From the foreboding and uncompromising concrete forms of Brutalism (notably the Barbican Estate and the National Theatre) to the mesmerising textures of England's architectural landmarks (Tate Modern and the Bull Ring), architecture shapes and defines the urban environment. Whilst these structures evoke a sense of sublimity within the city, they cannot help but remind us of our insignificance as we dwell and linger inside the metropolis.
The photographs in MONO. evoke the sense of isolation, showing shadowy and solitary individuals that become marginalised by the overpowering concrete in a clustered and chaotic urban environment.
Opening times 11 - 5pm Tuesday - Saturday.
The exhibition opens 6th February and will continue to run until Saturday 17th February.
