For me, ‘To Boldly Go’ (the title of one work by Juan Bolivar), nicely illustrates the exhibition, which moves the audience from one world to the next. The formal qualities of the works are familiar yet far reaching, existing paradoxically between utopia and dystopia.

Even though I have been working with Fieldgate gallery on the preparation and instillation of Surface Warp Factor for some weeks the works still challenges me. Each artist offers something unique to the exhibition whether it be firmly rooted within formalism, abstraction, be monochromatic or psychedelic, still or moving, flat, three-dimensional or mere illusion, each work appropriates the sci-fi theme by adding another layer of dynamism.

You can catch Surface Warp Factor (which is as weird and as intriguing as the name suggests) at The Aubin Gallery, Redchurch Street from 1st July - 25th July.
