Showing - 'Metamorphoses' by Frank Webster @ Bespoke Gallery – New York

This April, Frank Webster presents ’Metamorphoses’ at the Bespoke Gallery. As his first exhibition with the New York space, it's an exhibition that promises to be interesting. Webster recently made a move into digital medium, creating collages that, unlike his precise, simple, deign-like paintings, are busy as can be. Boasting a trippy seventies movie-poster lick, the works on show are a sub-series from his Political Science Fiction collection, and explore modernisation, globalization and the steady disappearance of the world’s natural resources. While this sounds like fairly heavy subject matter, it’s certainly an extensive area worthy of exposure. That’s not to say it hasn’t already been covered. It’s mentioned in the media pretty much daily. Nonetheless, such matters often remains forgotten within the world of modern-day arts.

Frank Webster’s 'Metamorphoses' takes place at the Bespoke Gallery, 547 West 27th Street
Sixth Floor, New York until 26th April.
