110 x 93 cm
Nicholas Cheveldave’s work utilizes a range of processes such as photography, painting, 3D rendering and sculpture that culminate in
densely layered collages. His practice directly engages the conditions of our mediated present. Responding to the ever-accelerating surplus
of commercial and social imagery, Cheveldave reflects on how contemporary identity is constructed in the wake of high-speed networks
and image-sharing.
The work included in ‘A Screen of Flesh’ involves everyday scenes of a semi-corrupted life overlaid with 3D rendering in amorphous forms. He has said in the past, “...it’s about an object that becomes bodily, and the
flow is like a figure through the space”.

WILL COOKEBorn 1989, Australia.
Lives in Sydney, Australia.
Will Cooke is intrigued by the invisibility of memory, and the way it is experienced within the body. He explores his own personal mythologies
and memories, and attempts to make these internal thoughts and experiences external.
He makes illusion-based paintings that begin a dialogue, and thus, the work develops a sensory relationship with the viewer. Cooke uses various mediums, such as aluminum, canvas and paper, to concrete
the sensation of memory in the physical world. Cooke’s focus on the relationship between form, surface, and the viewer, produces
independent physical objects that transcend the mind.

ATHENA PAPADOPOULOSBorn 1988, Canada.
Lives in London, United Kingdom.
Athena Papadopoulos makes wildly image-laden, mixed media sculptures and works on canvas. She utilizes techniques including
collage, drawing, and sewing, and eschews paint in favor of materials like mustard, Pepto-Bismol, and shoe polish, in combination with
family photographs, magazine clippings, her own drawings, and various fabrics. Together, they form cacophonous, richly textured compositions.
Through her work, Papadopoulos explores our penchant for revelry and indulgence, as well as the trappings of rebellion—like dyed hair or
tattoos—and their appropriation and taming by mainstream commercial culture. “I think there is a sense of spontaneity and intensity embedded in my working process that I hope the viewer can see in the works,” she
says. “The works are not meant to be moving upwards towards a point of precision, they are of a world that is downward and sprawling.”

Tschabalala Self
Poker, 2017
Acrylic, Gouache, Flashe and Fabric on Canvas
172.72 x 127 cm
Tschabalala Self builds a singular style from the syncretic use of both painting and printmaking to explore ideas about the black female body.
The artist constructs exaggerated depictions of female bodies using a combination of sewn, printed, and painted materials, traversing different artistic and craft traditions. The exaggerated biological characteristics of
her figures reflect Self’s own experiences and cultural attitudes toward race and gender. “The fantasies and attitudes surrounding the Black female body are both accepted and rejected within my practice, and
through this disorientation, new possibilities arise,” Self has said. “I am attempting to provide alternative, and perhaps fictional, explanations for
the voyeuristic tendencies towards the gendered and racialized body; a body which is both exalted and abject.”
