Derek Mainella in New Cross — Castor Projects

in

On New Cross Road, on the edge of Goldsmiths' campus, in the low ceilinged basement of a café, a new gallery space has opened called Castor Projects.

Their first show is presented in the dark, the pieces are lit with UV lights and the paints reflect this single channel light with a fluorescent glow. The paintings, made with cut canvases, are complex gradiated tones, something digital and something sci-fi but are definitely of our digitally social world. 

The show is just interesting, it is an experience, bold and definitely not the norm — a little secret in London that needs to be shared.
