XPLOIT x ARCHIE MORLEY GALLERY TAKEOVER
A few decades ago, the average man in the street would see abstract art as a visual experience and mental challenge that was both revolutionary and startling. In the present day, it would be right to state that abstract has been incorporated into our imaginations and is no longer an irritating and aggressive proposal but instead a genre that has flooded all aspects of our lives.
The sometimes called non-representational art has been present in many forms for much longer than most people might think. The game that abstract art represents to the mind leads us to think that abstract as a genre has always existed, primarily as a neurological signal, probably blocked in the modern era by religion and, mostly, lack of thought freedom.
The digital era has brought to abstract art an intense renascence of the practice, the tools, and most importantly, a refined new vision of how abstract can keep evolving. Archie is a great example of this accomplishment, bringing digital modernity along with a clear respect for the tradition and what has been previously achieved by others, combining what's possible to continue the abstract way.
Archie's work is unequivocally a process of experimentation. His background in photography gives him a clear advantage on setting the mood board for his pieces, with shocking compositions, magnificent color palettes and close to perfect alignment of elements and vanishing points.
Among other features present in his work, Archie is a master in the art of creation through repetition. Enhanced by digital tools, you can see how looping certain elements in his work can bring to life unexpected shapes, which, possessed by their previous strokes, end up in aggregated forms that extend enormous doses of beauty in all of his works.
This brochure was created for the XPLOIT x ARCHIE MORLEY gallery takeover (August 2022).
