Perspectives

16 March - June 2010
Hyatt Regency London – The Churchill, 30 Portman Square, London W1H 7BH

Candlestar is proud to present Perspectives, the second exhibition arising from its partnership with the luxury five-star hotel Hyatt Regency London - The Churchill. Perspectives explores ideas of expectation and illusion – each of the works displayed is not quite as it first appears. 

Perspectives features five highly distinctive artists – two photographers Emily Allchurch and David Maisel, two painters Patrick Hughes and Gerry Judah, and the young, Prague-based Iranian, Yassi Golshani. Each of these accomplished, exacting artists painstakingly constructs a world and then delights in breaking the illusion – either literally, as in the paintings of Gerry Judah where tiny precise cities are built up and then broken down on the canvas, or more figuratively, as in Emily Allchurch’s Urban Chiaroscuro, where surveillance cameras and mirrors, modern signs and graffiti and other contemporary details are positioned within what is apparently an eighteenth century etching.
