An RGB Universe in a London bar

By Caroline King - March 7, 2019Posted in : Art, Exhibition, Food & Drink

Hoxton Square Bar & Kitchen has been transformed into an Instagrammers dream with the installation of an RGB Universe exhibition.

RGB Universe
RGB Universe: Waves of the Modern Age at Hoxton Square Bar & Kitchen

The live music venue has been covered in the artist Carnovsky’s dramatic printed wallpaper, exploring the interaction between colour and light. The RGB Universe encompasses the natural elements of the universe with scenes depicting jungles, seas, animals, flowers and skeletons.

In each image three layers live together, resulting in an unexpected and psychedelic world where the colours mix up and the lines and shapes entwine, becoming oneiric and not completely clear.

When a different coloured light filter is projected onto the images, it becomes possible to discover the layers through which the image is composed. The filter colours are red, green and blue (RGB), and each one of them serves to reveal one of the three levels in a different way.

The three worlds could belong to a specific animal kingdom or to an anatomical part, but at the same time connect to a different psychological or emotional status that passes from the hidden to the clear, from the darkness to the light, from the dream-world to reality. The exhibition is an exploration of the surface’s deepness.

When: On until 30th June 2019
Where: Hoxton Square Bar & Kitchen, 2-4 Hoxton Square, London N1 6NU
£: Free admission
