Dorothy Circus Gallery

Chambrum Rangeam

This body of work is based on the series of over 20 installations and murals Seth realised in the abandoned factory of Mira Lanza in Rome back in summer of 2016. The works were inspired by ancient Latin sayings that questioned the world and its metamorphosis.

This dual exhibition curated by Stefano Antonelli took place at Dorothy Circus Gallery in London and Rome simultaneously.

Like Child’s Play

Like Child’s Play

After a two month residency at MoCA, spent in the lanes of old Shanghai, Seth revealed his vision of this city through this body of work, where he used the streets and alleyways like an urban artistic playground. This series of paintings and installations at MoCA summoned childhood memories that questioned the evolution of this massive city over the past few years.

In 2015 Seth left his mark on old Shanghai for the first time. He returned three years later to this inspirational city to more profoundly explore the local culture, immersing himself in its traditional cultural spirit, and using as his canvas the walls of the last old working-class neighbourhoods. Seth gives offers us an image of China that he has been pursuing him since childhood, through a visionary approach that speaks to those who grew up in Shanghai, balanced between memories of the past and a curiosity for the future.

“In my head”

“In my head” is an installation that brings together more than 1000 children’s drawings from all over the world. The back view of a child’s head is an invitation to cross through into a multi-coloured tunnel, like the rabbit hole in Alice in Wonderland. We arrive in a brightly lit room full of drawings. Each of the drawings represents the inner world of its creator – they are self-portraits but not portraits.
