Displayed on the ground floor of the gallery, Histories in Flux will showcase a new series of oil paintings by the acclaimed painter Tim Kent. The 12 paintings due to be exhibited at JD Malat Gallery are reflections of – as the artist puts it – 'playing with art history'. Fragmented, yet visually consistent compositions of vast interiors, sculptures, historical figures and classical nudes blur, disconnect, and reshape in front of the viewer's eyes to critically engage with the systemic power structures that the canon of Western art history fortified but contemporary art must continuously dismantle.
