Reflecting on Frieze London: The Art of Feeling
Back in 2024, the streets of London became my stage, allowing me to display how I explore emotions and language. I was thrilled to be part of Frieze London 2024, where my digital collage and poetry art were exhibited as part of the Plogix Gallery showcase.
The exhibition transformed public spaces into open-air galleries, making art accessible to all. I was also delighted to be interviewed by Sam Lane for Plogix Gallery, discussing what inspires me and my journey to Frieze.
Join me as I reflect on my experience.
The exhibition’s significance
“I never would have thought, when I moved to London, that my art would be showing on many screens around the city. It’s special.”
Being featured by Plogix Gallery during Frieze London 2024 was more than a milestone. It was a statement about emerging contemporary artists taking their art beyond traditional spaces. The Plogix showcase celebrated boundary-pushing creativity. Participating meant I could highlight my growing influence in the digital art and poetry scene.
The works I decided to display at Frieze, Words of Mouth, Behind the Veil, and Black Sun, each explore aspects of modern communication, ego, and the uncanny beauty of everyday life. My aim is to invite people to slow down and contemplate, reconnecting with the visceral and the unspoken through my thought-provoking imagery.
The art of the everyday
“I make a conscious effort to look around me when I’m out, because we all tend to be on our phones and not looking up. If I could give one piece of advice: look up more often.”
During my interview with Sam Lane, I reflected on how my artistic inspiration begins with observation and mindfulness.
The concept of noticing the poetry of daily life runs through all my work. Whether I’m exploring the duality of self, digital culture, or memory, my art encourages audiences to find beauty in the overlooked.
Poetry, authenticity, and the digital era
“We can get obsessed with an idea of perfection… but if you’re self-aware, it’s fine.”
My art practice encourages me to raise thoughtful questions about the role of social media in creativity. While I acknowledge its reach, I try to stay grounded in my belief that authenticity matters more than algorithmic success.
I always strive to balance the online simulation with real-life flânerie, embodying the ethos of For The Romantics Left Alive.
The future
Since Frieze London 2024, I’ve continued to expand my creative horizons. I’m experimenting with new materials, adding tactile dimensions like fabric and paint to my digital prints and developing new products. This next phase represents my ongoing search for the connection between texture, writing, and the digital.
Upcoming projects will continue deepening my exploration of deconstructing visuals and meanings, as well as mixing and rearranging the senses through a grunge surrealism that feels intimate and artisanal all at once.
