The Transience of Earthly Pleasures
The Transience of Earthly Pleasures. Conceived and curated by Joe La Placa and Mark Sanders of All Visual Arts AVA, the exhibition is a contemporary update on the four hundred year old theme of the Vanitas first developed in Holland and Northern Europe in the mid to late 17th century. The exhibition explores all facets of the Vanitas tradition, displaying original old works alongside painting and sculpture from 27 international contemporary artists. AVA's innovative commissioning agency will bring together works made especially for the exhibition by both the artists that it currently represents - Reece Jones, Wolfe von Lenkiewicz, Alastair Mackie, Kate MccGwire and Jonathan Wateridge - and other leading figures of the international art world including Bertozzi and Casoni, Jake and Dinos Chapman, Tim Noble and Sue Webster and Wim Delvoye.
