The Fine Art Society presents “Chinese Whispers” a new solo exhibition by Rob and Nick Carter.
The exhibition presents over 20 works and at the heart of this exhibition is the exploration of the notion of truth. The Carters commissioned selected Warhol works to be reproduced by professional artists in China. The resulting copies were replicated again in different workshops. This process was repeated with each reproduction, with each individual copyist making subtle, almost imperceptible changes to their own version. These alterations build on each other, layer upon layer, until the final version emerges, a faithful reproduction of its predecessor but a stark contrast to the original image; an artistic Chinese whisper.
A highlight of the exhibition comprises 50 individually framed iterations of Warhol’s iconic The Last Supper, spanning 9 metres.
This works explores the different perception of an image between the East and the West and also comments on the issue of authenticity in art.
When: until January, 29th
Where: The Fine Art Society Contemporary – 148 New Bond Street – London
