About The Artwork
This work examines the idea of alternative realities and how separate worlds co-habit. What is the relationship? What happens when alternative realities are joined by design? Unlike alternative facts, alternative realities don’t seek any truth competitions,they just co-habit in the physical world, in the human psyche and in human society at large. The group exhibition Bolero, with its physical newspaper support constraint, invites a chance confrontation between worlds - in this case a 4 line poem and a page from the Financial Times. FOXGLOVE is a rap (a Killer Wrap) inspired by the name of the pink flower set in characteristic inky grey cap letters and juxtaposed over columns of market data. Thus, an apparently surreal relationship is established whereby the text relates to the the cold, hard data of the equity markets - in itself not unused to manipulations. And indeed, with a commission, it’s fun to find other common elements: pink flower vs. pink paper F for FOXGLOVE vs. F for FINANCIAL.

Neil Wood is a British artist, curator and graphic designer. Since the early nineteen eighties he has lived and worked in London, Paris and Brussels. His practise is divers and includes photography, customised print-making, poetry, typography, sculpture, sound installation and more recently, performance. He generates his art through experimentation, writing, selective appropriation and chance actions: he exploits chosen materials and objects and combines them with carefully identified narrative themes and semantic game-playing. His work freely spans the representational to the abstract, often challenging perceptions and arriving at unexpected results through extreme changes of scale or focus. He frequently incorporates language triggers to alter meanings and provokes the irrational and has played recorded voices as audio performances alongside his typographic works. He recently inaugurated a 50 metre mural work entitled 'Et Toi là, Attrape Ton Étoile' for the Paris Metro at the Charles de Gaulle Étoile hub in Paris. www.neilwoodart.com www.vimeo.com/neilwood
