Elusive presents a world where things are not quite what they seem. These
things are not illusions; they appear to be like fleeting
elements in the world made up of symbols and distorted meanings.
Elusive brings together newly commissioned works by London-based
artists Yu-Chen Wang, Cyril Lepetit and Andro Semeiko, and Tbilisi-
based artist Mamuka Japaridze.

A thread of surrealism links the works in this exhibition. The
representational and distorted quality of Yu-Chen Wang's drawing
engages us in a non-narrative story telling. In contrast to her work, Cyril
Lepetit places himself in manipulated situations in his performances questioning
contemporary gendered hierarchies. In his paintings Andro Semeiko is puppeteering a
knight in armour on his
tragicomic quests. Along with these, Mamuka Japaridz's film and
prints present us with visual and language puzzles, which let us
adopt sensitivity and appreciation of the process of recreating
meanings.
