Nationally recognised contemporary artist Locust Jones presents The green dream — an exhibition surveying the artist’s intimate and internal lens through which he has interpreted the political throughout his distinguished career, to capture the tension between global events and the immediate, tangible realities of daily life.

Diaristic drawings, rendered in ink on paper, entangle fragments of world news with reflections on the artist’s personal—and tumultuous—lived experiences, offering a raw, unfiltered experience of how the contemporary chaos of the infosphere, or hypermodernity, intersect with psychological experience. Each work is product of a moment in time, layered with the immediacy of his chosen material to reflect both permanence and fragility.

Opening event: Friday 28 February 2025
