FOUND — exhibition

FOUND is an exhibition of immersive and collaborative art, created with the intention of facilitating inner and outer connection.

FOUND is not just an art exhibition; it's a transformative experience that aims to bridge the gap between art and everyday life.

Interlaced — exhibition

13 lucky artists come together to understand how process artists and expression artists work as one.

We feel things you see.

We experience them.

Interlaced is an exhibition by 13 fine art students at the University of Leeds that brings together our 13 different ways of interpreting our environment.

Psyche — exhibition

Psyche is an exhibition of work by Level 2 fine art students from the University of Leeds, hosted at Chillchillcats Goodies in Leeds Kirkgate Market.

The Psyche is the totality of our mind, body and soul.

To this end, our art is an investigation of this relationship, through representations of the body, examinations of the unconscious and desire.

From this starting point, we are able to incorporate a diverse range of inspiration and lines of investigation ranging from the psychoanalytic, to beauty, the uncanny and the symbolic.
