Darren Sylvester: Party up on Skull Rock

In his latest body of work, Darren Sylvester mines the highly stylised surfaces of contemporary life—its promises, poses, and emotional mechanisms—with a glossy precision that evokes the effects of pop music videos and high-end advertising—where emotion is engineered, not felt. Comprising four large-scale photographs, two ‘lightspeed’ paintings, and a suite of sculptures, the exhibition continues Sylvester’s exploration of pop-cultural mysticism and the thin veils of desire, artifice, and identity.
