For her first solo exhibition at the gallery, Siena Barnes will present a series of subvertisements that explore the intersection of advertising and addiction.

In ‘High and Coming Up Again’, glass reflects glass in this mirrored series where meaning is fractured. Personal secrets become public slogans in ‘Alcoholism’, and Bass’s Red Triangle floats on a heavenly cloud, an arbitrary symbol of an enduring desire to escape. Since Siena’s first solo show in 2011, her work has been exhibited internationally in solo and group exhibitions. Born 1982 London, the artist lives and works in Bristol, UK.
