Hide and Seek was a single artist show by Malika Favre, held at the Kemistry Gallery in Shoreditch. Kemistry Gallery is one of my favourites, as they often showcase a wide range of works by artists and designers. The gallery itself is the size of a living room, I think small spaces give displayed works some kind of closeness between the viewer and the art work. There was a beautiful doorway piece painted outside of the gallery, it looked intriguing and inviting from the outside on the street. There wasn't much explanation to each piece of work, but they looked very powerful none the less. Works were shown in a large format, they were a little overwhelming from up close as the repetitive geometric shapes and lines created optical illusions.
I particularly liked Blinds and Balconies works, as previously mentioned they had a very powerful optical illusion and were beautifully screen printed. I also like the idea of solid black and white blocks of colours with a hint of strong primary colour. I felt like the artist wanted to create a vibe of mystery, which was successfully achieved through out the whole exhibition.
