Atlantis by Gayle Chong Kwan

London-based artist Gayle Chong Kwan has created a fantasy landscape out of used plastic food packaging for an exhibition in London.

The exhibition, called Atlantis, is commissioned by Arts Co.

Atlantis is at 29 Thurloe Place, SW7 until 6 December.

The exhibition also features photographs of previous incarnations of Atlantis completed by the artist.

The following text is from Gayle Chong Kwan:

—

Arts Co and Pia Getty are pleased to present an exhibition by artist Gayle Chong Kwan.

Atlantis is an enormous mythical landscape, a city created and carved out of semi-opaque, used, plastic food packaging, collected from people who live in London and covering the entire exhibition space.

The Atlantis installation will be accompanied by large-scale photographs exploring this enchanting and uncanny city of plastic.

Atlantis is generously supported by Brompton Estates.
