“The artists use everyday life as a starting point to focus on the symbols that surround us and what these mean to the artist as individual. A structural reworking of life’s conditions, the state of affairs. The result is clear and concise, without ironic distancing and metaphysical denominators. The works speak to the spectator with immediate appeal and no one is to be embarrassed by the art. I would even go out on a limb and say that the art in this show is popular. By that, I mean immediate and likable. This might be a future prospect which contemporary art may be wise to follow.”
