Luke Insect – “The Time & Space Machine”

ON

From the legendary pop of the 60 to sun-kissed Balearic drenched scene of the late 80s and early 90s, music has always influenced visual art. Particularly inspired by the psychedelic sounds and visuals of the 60s, artists Luke Insect, Leo Zero and David Little work under the collective of Golden Sun Movement. Currently on display at the Idea Generation Gallery, their inaugural exhibition ‘ON’ features a selection of works from their extensive design back-catalogue as well as collaborative site-specific works created to explore the gallery’s unique architecture. Until 8 May.
