Showing – Axel Antas ‘Nature of Things’ @ Rokeby – London

Axel Antas is exhibiting at Rokeby Gallery in London this month. The multi-talented Finish-born artist was recently selected for the Jerwood Drawing Prize. His current collection of work builds on his interest in ‘displacement of the self as a physical entity’. Think extra-large drawings of woodland filled by average, everyday columns of cardboard boxes or photographs of great trees surrounded by strange hanging clouds. It’s all very urban meets rural life in a very static, uncertain way.

Axel Antas’ ‘Nature of Things’ takes place at Rokeby, 37 Store Street WC1, from 5th September – 3rd October.
