Art Competition Loneliness and Poetics – 2024 London Contemporary Art Review Exhibition
The Theme
In this exhibit, we showcase outstanding works by contemporary artists from all around the world, focusing on a group exhibition of contemporary art in London, UK, that will explore the themes of solitude and poetics. Through the power of art, we aim to capture the audience's attention to the fate and life reflections of marginalized individuals, and provoke thought on the curse brought by tragic and sorrowful narratives.
During the past 30 years, we have witnessed the destruction of our social order by man-made factors such as the scourge of war, terrorism, telecommunication fraud, and drug trafficking. In this process, millions of individuals have been repeatedly forgotten by history in various forms such as unemployment, lack of education, online fraud, and the ruins of war. These individual forms are real; they reflect the appearance of different regions, communities, and individuals in society.
