NEXUS is an exhibition curated from an open call for BA and MA students graduating in 2020 and 2021. The exhibition is loosely split into three themed ‘rooms’, (Room 1 – identities, Room 2 - realities, and Room 3 – space/place). Whilst there is much cross-over between the rooms (much of the work could be seen to represent two if not all three of the themes) the overriding emphasis are the connections made between often seemingly disparate themes, techniques, and subject matter.

Our new, largely socially atomised existence has provoked experimentation; inspiring students to consider metaphors in their immediate environments as a means of representing subjects which may not be accessible in a traditional photographic sense. Interpretations of reality run through the works and the questioning of cultural norms, social hierarchies, and other phenomena - which whilst prevalent can be difficult to depict - reoccur in student work made during this period.
The last 18 months has been an intense and timely period of self-reflection provoked by limitations of movement and activism against systemic injustices. It has been a time to reconsider our personal and collective identities and the systems, objects and ideologies which make up our conception of reality. We hope that this selection of graduate work from the past two years reflects both the anxieties and opportunities of a world in flux, presenting new and innovative ways of seeing.

At the Blue Bee Gallery, we are dedicated to supporting, showcasing and launching new and emerging artists. We carefully curate only the best pieces from artists around the world who show the biggest potential to become the next big thing.

Although the meaning of each piece is in the eye of the beholder, we tend to give the viewer interpretations of the artworks, which may help emerging art collectors to overcome the hurdle to invest in their first piece. After all, art shouldn’t be intimidating, but something you can be proud of to own and showcase in your own space.

We are an online art gallery, but run pop-up exhibitions in Europe and the Americas. This allows us to cater to a wider audience globally and bring our artists to places where people wouldn’t have heard of them before. Please join our mailing list or social media pages to keep up to date for the next event.

By working with freshly emerging artists, we are in a position to offer their art to a good price for a potentially high return on investment.
