Mobile Photography & Art Flickr Group Showcase – 8 October 2017
In a spasm of self-love and need, this weeks Mobile Photography and Art Showcase will keep you transfixed as you are guided through a labyrinth of delicious ambiguity. There’s no plot, strands are left deliberately trailing, you’ll find nothing to grab hold of but you will be left feeling entirely satisfied. Each artist has created work that is not just a triumph of psychological insight but also of social observation and storytelling magic. Some work you may favour over another and there is no reconciliation to this paradox. The ferocity of each work of art and each artists’ character behind their work serves as a view to the emotional and intellectual self of their lives. Whether they are creating images to escapes their origins, or to fantasise that they have, they remain escaped and thus this consistency is maintained. Their former selves and their past are not inalienable, they continue to exist and lure us back into this dynamic, addictive and compulsive showcase. Enjoy!
