This Is Not The Signal Opening

John St Gallery is pleased to present This Is Not The Signal, a presentation of new work by Amber Wynne-Jones, Nicholas Ray Steele, Owen McCallum-Keeler, and Ahmed Ahmed. Each artist works with different mediums, subjects, and thematic content, but their work converges around similar questions: How can representational art traditions better reflect the fractured, hyper-mediated interiority of today’s digital native? How might painting map modern life? In an age when the self is increasingly constructed through algorithms and avatars, can we reignite some of the psychoanalytic spark that burned through last century’s figurative art? Can we find new forms for new neuroses?
