Anarchy: Nothing To See Here
By Jo Phillips
Oliver Jeffers, Nothing To See Here
Brooklyn based artistĀ Oliver Jeffers comes to London with his Nothing To See Here exhibition opening 12th September at Lazardies Rathbone Gallery.
Referencing well-known 18th and 19th century European landscape and still-life paintings, Jeffers explores the notion that knowledge is power. Playing with themes of censorship and ignorance the artist re-invents the classic frames of European art and tries to convince his audience that the only true way to learn is through experience.

Encouraging the viewers to take a closer look, start questioning the reality and do not take someone else’s word for everything, Jeffers encourages the viewer to break the rules and immerse into his inquisitive world.
