About this event

Anima Mundi present Andrew Litten's latest solo exhibition of profoundly intimate artwork.

Anima Mundi are delighted to present ‘Unknown Futures: Hope, Longing, Grief & Other Distortions’ by contemporary British artist Andrew Litten. Here, Litten presents a profoundly intimate, unguarded and reflective body of work over three floors of the gallery, comprising multi-scale painting, sculpture and works on paper.

Over four years, Andrew Litten has formed a significant body of paintings, sculptures and assemblages shaped by the consistent pressure of loss and uncertainty. The work emerges from endurance, from bearing disturbance and from inhabiting the spaces where grief, longing and hope collide. Born from lived experience, the work reaches into our contemporary world of global turbulence and uncertainty, tracing the fragile, anxious contours of a shared human moment and suggesting through vulnerability a pathway of empathy and connection for us all.

Dynamic gesture, engaging colour intensity and material properties carry the traces of the human interior: tenderness brushing against estrangement, intimacy shadowed by alienation, presence unsettled by absence. The work lives in these margins – slightly skewed, quietly unsettling – yet still it resonates absolutely – as here, isolation becomes a bridge and vulnerability is a sharing.

Please join us for the launch of this incredibly special exhibition on Good Friday, 3rd April, 6.30-8.30pm. The artist will be present.
