IMITATE MODERN PRESENT

INTRODUCTION

TRASH ‘N’ CASH is an acute social commentary; an exhibition in which currency, big brands, conscience and identity collide. The homogenisation of society is in stark contrast with the success of individual brands and growing identification with certain celebrities. The ‘selfie’ - as a celebration of the ‘self’ - is becoming increasingly less unique, as conformity pays, and designer logos form the new global currency. The juxtaposition of aspirational items, the Tiffany’s bag and £50 notes, with rubbish bags and waste, boldly attack this issue.
Featuring mixed media artworks, Trash ‘n’ Cash features elements of an art installation, with works bleeding from their frames and directly onto the wall. Any surface works as a canvas for his art: from furniture to legal tender, challenging the way in which we now measure worth. The Dotmaster invites us to question the current state of society and our concepts of value, to ask “What is the cost?”
“Where there’s muck, there’s brass. Artworks created by the detritus of high fashion and finance” The Dotmaster
