The most profoundly uncanny moments in life aren’t recognizable as such. They are like a ringing in the ears or a frame permanently askew, the missing object on a mantelpiece that lets you know that the scene has been disturbed. For Just Off, curators Peter Drake and Alix Sloan have brought together eleven uncannily like-minded emerging artists. With disconnected gestures, anatomical drawings of non-existent creatures, detritus still lives that remind one of ceramic figurines and everyday environments disrupted by unsettling forces, their imagery is similarly, subtly, disquietingly unhinged. The collected works are at their core familiar and beautiful but together they are undeniably and intriguingly Just Off.
