Elusive presents a world where things are not quite what they seem.  
These things are not illusions; they appear to be like fleeting  
elements in the world made up of symbols and distorted meanings.  
Elusive brings together newly commissioned works by London-based  
artists Yu-Chen Wang, Cyril Lepetit and Andro Semeiko, and Tbilisi- 
based artist Mamuka Japaridze.

A thread of surrealism links the works in this exhibition. The  
representational and distorted quality of Yu-Chen Wang’s drawing  
engages us in a non-narrative story telling. In contrast to her work,  
Cyril Lepetit places himself in manipulated situations in his  
performances questioning contemporary gendered hierarchies. In his  
paintings Andro Semeiko is puppeteering a knight in armour on his  
tragicomic quests. Along with these, Mamuka Japaridze’s film and  
prints present us with visual and language puzzles, which let us  
adopt sensitivity and appreciation of the process of recreating  
meanings.
