The exhibition will run 15-26th September, and will show his large scale paintings as part of a
sensory, immersive experience.
LepidopTerror, a new series of paintings by MM, will see the butterfly motif assume a unique and evocative significance.
Butterflies, traditional symbols of life, death, rebirth and reincarnation, have been incorporated into the work of some of history’s most celebrated artists, from Salvador Dali to Damien Hirst.
MM’s butterflies, however, are rather more sinister – while from afar the viewer is struck by stunning hues and conventional winged beauty, on closer inspection the reality is one of armed creatures, with thoughts and actions uncertain and threatening.
The show at I.N.C. Space will incorporate between twelve and fifteen large-scale paintings – including many of his butterfly series.
The exhibition, curated in a ‘room within a room’ will engage the viewer subliminally, through sight, sound and smell.
Juxtaposed by the clinical brightness of the external space, this enclosing ‘cocoon’ will draw upon subtle such elements as darkness, warmth, and low frequency sound, which will be felt but not heard.
Inducing this mysterious ambience, MM transforms a passive ‘viewing’ into a holistic and absorbing encounter.
This exhibition is free of charge. To find out more about MM Art, visit his website or read his recent interview with the Indepedent Newspaper.
