NEW GROUP SHOW ‘WIDE-EYED’ CURATED BY HEATHER BELL

NEW GROUP SHOW ‘WIDE-EYED’ CURATED BY HEATHER BELL

26th May 2023 - 31st May 2023


D’Stassi Art are proud to introduce our latest group show carefully curated by friend of the gallery Heather Bell.


The show explores a selection of whimsical artworks which focus on the imagination, and air a sense of what is to be defined as cool and popular; words that have been used so frequently in contemporary society they’ve almost lost their meaning.

For some artists being cool or popular is all that has ever mattered, a merging of celebrity and artist pioneered in the 1960’s by the likes of Andy Warhol and his peers. In this show unforeseen creatures coexist with a raw display of disaffected youth culture.

The ever changing interpretation of what it is to be considered as cool, as well as its ephemeral nature, has resulted in the idea that coolness can in fact be attributed to anything or anyone.
Curator Heather Bell describes the artworks chosen in WIDE-EYED as having “a fluent sense of tainted innocence and fantasy throughout the show, like walking through a minefield of teen angst and fairy dust.”


D’Stassi Art has always had a keen interest in supporting and promoting emerging talent at all stages of their artists careers. Director Edward Sanders was particularly interested in the artists and selection of works Heather presented when they initially met to discuss the show and instantly believed it would be an ideal fit for D’Stassi Art’s Shoreditch flagship.


D’Stassi Art will be opening the gallery doors on the 26th May 2023 at 6PM to welcome collectors and art lovers to the WIDE-EYED opening and launch party. To RSVP please email info@dstassiart.com.


ABOUT D’STASSI ART

Since the brand's inception in 2017, D'Stassi Art has established a unique platform for the world's most inspiring emerging talent. In the traditionally exclusive art world, D'Stassi Art looks to discover, encourage and help introduce clients to works of art based purely on how passionate we are about them. The gallery has helped to introduce a variety of the art world's clientele to important contemporary artists through immersive and inclusive events.


D'Stassi Art's main goal is to be as open and transparent as possible with a clear purpose to diversify contemporary art audiences. In its reluctance to simply follow the traditional gallery formula, D'Stassi Art is quickly becoming a key player in a world where art doesn't have to be experienced in an elitist, sterile, and often silent white-walled room. The gallery and its staff act as storytellers: primarily introducing clients to the story of some of the world's most gifted artists.
