Neon Gallery Launches Group Art Exhibition ‘Mythologies: Contemporary Art as a Modern Myth Creator’

Neon Gallery today announces the forthcoming launch of Mythologies: Contemporary Art as a Modern Myth Creator, their highly anticipated group art exhibition at The Koppel Project Exchange in Piccadilly, London, on 17th May 2021. The five-week exhibition will present a selection of works by established and emerging contemporary artists who share a desire to change perceptions of artistic expression and mediums while delivering potent critiques of the status quo through their works. Mythologies is designed to be as much a cultural experience as an artistic one, an innovative twist sure to excite fans of contemporary art.

Dr Dimitrios Tsivrikos and Christopher Shake, the creators of the show and the duo at the helm of Neon Gallery, promise a dynamic and thought-provoking exhibition that will explore the parallel myths, narratives and stories that art so powerfully communicates to its audience. Featuring a broad mix of paintings, sculptures and performative works, Tsivrikos and Shake are curating a show that will highlight the vitality and diversity of contemporary art.

“As spectators we often view art a single-layered narrative or artist’s expression with a distinct tone and volume,” said Dr Tsivrikos. “With Mythologies, our goal is to curate a collection that invites visitors to discover layers of meaning that contribute to a broader exploration of art’s capacity to simultaneously incite both aesthetic and cultural critiques.”

In addition to drawing on the exceptional talents of Neon Gallery’s portfolio of established artists, this illuminating show will also introduce a number of exciting new artists who the gallery has recently signed.

And Neon Gallery will also be announcing the winner of its first annual Neon Gallery Emerging Artist Award, presented to a rising artist selected from a pool of hundreds of applicants from across the globe who submitted their work over the past few months.

Neon Gallery’s Mythologies exhibition will run from 17th May – 21st June 2021 at The Koppel Project Exchange, Piccadilly, London. We are offering private press previews on May 19th from 11 am – 5 pm and May 20th from 11 am – 5 pm and our launch night commences at 6 pm (on May 20th).
