The artist known as TRXTR, in his second solo show at Signal Gallery finds himself looking at a world gone mad with excess. For him the problem is that ‘in every way the Genie is out of the bottle and has become so bloated and addictive there is no way it will go back and our wishes are all used up’.
The visual imagery he uses to expresses his feelings about this complex situation we find ourselves in is overloaded with apparently random detail. The effect is seductive nearly to the point of no return. But as the artist says ‘what ever you invent has implications with teeth. I don’t even pretend to know what to do about it, it’s a mess and all I seem to be able to do is make pictures about it. It’s like sketching a train crash’.
TRXTR continues to develop his reputation as an artist of note both
nationally and internationally, with this second solo show at Signal
Gallery. He had his first solo show in the USA last year and has had
considerable auction room success both at Bonhams and Dreweatts.
