Scott Campbell's Always Almost There Show at Lazarides SOHO
The Shop at Lazarides new show with Scott Campbell's first UK solo exhibition 'Always Almost There' opens tonight
This collection looks at the desire to memorialize through iconography, drawing on Scott's background in tattoo art, the bedrock of his approach. The show includes several series of his work. The first is a series of 100-deep stacks of 1-dollar bills with layers removed to reveal an image within the currency. Also featured in the show is a series of collages which play on the urge to commemorate through symbolism; and the random narrative that is created when they coexist. This show promises to be an insightful quotation of Americana that should not be missed!
The show opens with a private view this Thursday, 1 October from 6.30 to 9.30 at 8 Greek Street, Soho, London W1D 4DG.
