Ark exhibition: Southey, Senyol & Mackay


Ark
 
 
Using the Biblical reference of Noah and the ark as staring point, creative trio Paul Senyol, Justin Southey and Bruce MacKay explore notions of faith, hope and disaster in their new collaborative exhibition, Ark.
Ark, which features paintings, drawings and sculptures. Best known for their bold, urban aesthetics and quirky illustrations, Ark focuses on the notion of hope, faith and, more pessimistically, on the imminent demise of society.
Southey,  used simple shapes, bold colours and typographic elements to highlight the world’s need for hope and the opportunity for change.
“All but One”, “40 Days”, “After the Rain” and “In the Clouds” are the four works produced by Senyol. The works all refer to the biblical account of Noah and the floods and how it brought about changes in his life and faith.
Bruce Mackay highlights our overexposure to misfortune, suffering and death through the consumption of mass media. His work describes a society that sees its own collapse but doesn’t care.
