The Hole is pleased to present “against the day after before”, a solo exhibition by Ivan Seal. Seal paints ensembles of objects that don’t quite parse logically: the flowers are thick and meaty, the vases look like hornet’s nests, his chaotic assemblages might be cat scratching posts. Painted from intuition, free association and altered memories, the works evoke instability and a twisted reality from another dimension. Echoing this feeling in the back gallery of small figure paintings is a sound installation by The Caretaker, a frequent collaborator with the artist.
