Elysium Gallery, Swansea
Fri 23 Aug-Sat 21 Sept
Multidisciplinary artist Liam Dunne’s latest exhibition, exhibited in the Swansea gallery where he currently works, will continue his personal tradition of political artwork, bringing the topic of social injustice to the artistic table. Dunne’s interest in creating profound artwork is clear, as this exhibition will primarily explore the relationship between human beings and power. His previous work has predominantly focused on psychologist Lacan’s mirror stage, in which one recognises themselves for the first time. Dunne’s satirical work makes a mockery of dictatorship and accuses spectators of a conditioned bias when viewing art to favour the popular, comparing it to the fashion industry.
Dunne is relatively new to the art game at only 24 years old, having graduated from the Glasgow School Of Art with a Masters in Letters In Fine Art in 2016. He works primarily in painting, drawing, installation and stop-motion animation, which can all be anticipated in Rolling With The Punch. So far, his works are housed in both public and private collections in the UK and internationally – the UK Royal Family collection and the Luciano Benetton Imago Mundi Project at the Venice Biennale included.
