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.
Together, the works on display in This Is Not The Signal suggest that figuration today is about distortion, not depiction. Instead of stable narratives or easily legible themes, the artists in This Is Not The Signal probe the slippage between self and simulation, memory and meme, interiority and interface. In doing so, they attempt to summon a truly contemporary mode of representational art—one attuned not to consensus reality, but to individuated illusion—the warped, flickering consciousness of our time.
