ASSEMBLY LINE

ASSEMBLY LINE is a ‘vehicle' for exploring relationships between art, production, exchange, commerce, value and the internet.

Electric Blues (Factory Reset) is the latest edition of ‘dipped’ model cars made especially for the live ACBF event. Vintage, often damaged, die-cast motors (Matchbox, Hot Wheels etc.) are acquired from various second-hand sources and subjected to a repeat process whereby they are submerged into multi-coloured emulsions and hung up to dry. Over time this method creates a stalagmite paint drip that mimics a cartoon speed-streak. 

BALTHAZAR MATTAR

Balthazar Mattar is a typewriting, paint daubing, free jazz loving artist living and working in and around the fertile cultures of south east London. All of his typewriter pieces contain unique observations from his imagination, tapped out onto pristine watercolour paper late into the night. 

THE BARON GILVAN

‘A Foolish Romantic, landed up on the shores of Blighty clutching only his paintings and his hopes, The Baron is concerned with only the intensity of life itself, and the beauty of the ideal. He is raw, unflinching, and utterly sincere, a compact of all that is magnificent’. He invents painted narratives and characters emerge out of intuitive automatism looking for iconic and sacred characters often in a state of transformation, reverie or catatonic breakdown. They reference esoteric times of William Blake, heroic Admirals from Trafalgar, Opera Singers, Vaudeville Bouffon and Victorian Concert Hall performers. 

CHARLES WILLIAMS
