Siger Gallery was established in 2012 to promote and sell a broad range of emerging UK and international artists. Siger is a dynamic platform for a range of art practices, including: painting, performance, sculpture, photography, printmaking and animation. Siger Gallery exhibits internationally, past shows include London, Hong Kong, Singapore and Milan.
For Siger’s exhibition at the Tommy Flowers a selection of the gallery’s artists present a bit of international flair along with a dash of homegrown talent. With artists from as far-flung away Mexico, Siger’s eclectic mix brings the dynamism expected of the gallery. Bringing together the artists’ interpretations of the body in their own unique styles, we present a body of works that blurs between the untruths of an Instagram age and the internal struggle of self-perception. Are we ever what we think we are, and will what we strive for ever be achievable?
Works include the delicately formed and exquisitely executed ethereal hair drawings of Alexandra Buhl of Denmark. Mexican Guillermo Monroy’s found objects reimagined and given new life as a menagerie of new creatures. Paul Robinson’s Pink Bear lives a life of highs and lows in beautiful, technically intricately produced paintings and prints. Alex Allmont provides the rhythm of the show with a previously commissioned drum machine with an unlikely twist.
The Tommy Flowers welcomes Siger Gallery’s exhibition by introducing a few friends to the exhibiting artists’ list in a coming together of old friends and new. This fusion of artistic output adds to the melting pot of collaboration that breeds new, exciting exchanges of ideas.
