John Slavin - The Resilient Self
Belisarius Begging for Alms features in The Resilient Self exhibition at Espacio Gallery, East London, hosted by The Artists' Pool cooperative ... 'It’s one thing to present your art honestly to the world, it’s quite another to turn that gaze on yourself. We live in the age of the ‘selfie,’ where reality can be pushed through endless filters until every hint of vulnerability is erased. In this show, all filters are removed as each artist presents an artwork that gives the viewer a glimpse of their authentic self.
We've had to spend time with ourselves during lockdown, being in one space for a long period of time, forcing us to self reflect, to uncover, discover and explore new ways of expressing ourselves. This exhibition is about the Self, the resilient self.'
