We first met Bartholomew Westlake aka BART early spring this year, when he was planning his first exhibition in London, and we are now delighted that Chrom.gallery will be hosting this show in August. Chrom.Art have been committed to promoting emerging undiscovered talents for years, and we have seen everything under the sun and more, but we felt under the spell of the backward written messages in Bart's artworks and the way he casts them through a rough mix of graffiti and rich abstract backgrounds. In a world where social media algorithms are running our lives, even more so in the pandemic, his 'Contraceptive Art' show aims to stir our thoughts on contemporary art and how it should be created and showcased.
