KIM! KANYE! JAY Z! BILL GATES! AYN RAND! OSCAR HEADED CHILDREN! NUDITY! BRIGHT COLOURS! REPETITION!

This is the promo video for a group exhibition that I was selected for, entitled What People Want. The work in the video is also mine. The seven illustrations are part of a series called New Clear Family. This title is a play on Marlene Dumas’ piece, Nuclear Family.

The individual pieces reference The Seven Deadly Sins and the Four Last Things by Hieronymus Bosch, which depicts every day scenes that were considered deplorable or at least undesirable. New Clear Family responds to Bosch’s scenes by offering a potential positive counterpoint for each. Love for Lust, Philanthropy for Avarice etc.

NB The sound attached to the video is rather loud, so mind your ears.

Animation made for the exhibition What People Want, at The Hive Dalston.
