The Tomb and The Fountain
In his first solo exhibition in London, Portuguese artist Rui Ferreira presents an installation which celebrates transformation, death and rebirth in a dance between real and imagined, chaos and form. Featuring large-scale architectonic elements built from found wood, assembled objects and enigmatic photographic prints.
Myths and classical narratives are combined with perambulations in cemeteries, gardens and domestic spaces, as newly-dreamed narratives emerge.
Hotel Elephant Gallery is housed in the old surgery in the heart of the Heygate Estate, Elephant and Castle. Described recently as a ‘brutalist Versailles’, this 1970’s utopian dream of post war social housing, now derelict and empty, provides a unique backdrop for emerging artistic talent.
