SHOW INCOMING! You’ll never run out of reasons to visit @bsmtspace . @malarko is in London for his new show PLOC PLOC BLOMPF! opening Thursday 14 May, 6pm! BE THERE 🤘 . It started with a pile of discarded comics found in a Barcelona factory. Malarko picked up the thread and ran with it, not to preserve the images, but to set them back in motion. He let the colour and rhythm of the source material bleed through while the narrative dissolved away. . What’s left sits somewhere between figuration and abstraction. Familiar, but strange. . It’s a good one. Get it in the diary. . #malarko #bsmtspace #bsmt #londonart

Perspicere: States of Transition 21 May - 13 June 2026 Saatchi Gallery Curated by @bsmtspace , States of Transition, a new body of work by Perspicere, continues his meticulous exploration of the human condition through thread. Each piece is built by wrapping thread around nails, layer upon layer, colour upon colour, until a photo-realistic portrait emerges from thousands of intersecting lines. Perspicere, Latin for “to see clearly” or “to see through”, subjects that very idea to scrutiny. Veil-like forms and shifting surfaces complicate the act of seeing, while the work itself changes depending on distance, reflecting the way perception is fluid and unreliable. This new series turns toward the uncertain space between one state of being and another, between presence and absence, visibility and concealment. Meaning is not immediately given but gradually uncovered, inviting an active process of looking, questioning, and reconstructing what is seen RSVP for private view 21st may - [email protected] @saatchi_gallery @bsmtspace #stringart #stringart #streetart #londonstreetart #saatchigallery

LONDON- we like to keep you on your toes! So this is happening NEXT WEEK, the man @malarko is winging his way over from BCN with a fresh new show! . OPENING MAY 14th 6PM- it’s a good one, put it in the diary, feel good factor guaranteed! . A pile of discarded comics in a factory in Barcelona. A chance find that becomes the starting point for an entire body of work. Mark Malarko returns to BSMT Gallery with ‘PLOC PLOC BLOMPF!’, a new series of paintings that began with a coincidence and ended somewhere far more considered. . The works carry the colour, rhythm, and graphic intensity of their source material, but they are not reproductions. They are translations. Fragments absorbed, abstracted, and rebuilt through paint, letting the original imagery dissolve into something far more loose and open. . ‘PLOC PLOC BLOMPF!’ is about circularity. The comics Malarko encountered were conceived, produced, and later abandoned in the same neighbourhood in Barcelona where he found them years later. This is an exhibition about the past and present folding in on each other. These are not images rescued from obscurity, they are images set in motion again in an entirely new context. . Working with house paint on canvas, Malarko keeps the process direct and physical, no fuss. Malarko edits and responds, letting the source imagery dissolve until what’s left isn’t quite representation and isn’t quite abstraction. It’s somewhere in between. The colour and form from the original comics carry over but the narrative falls away, leaving something that sits between figuration and abstraction- very familiar but at the same time strange. . The result is a collection of paintings that asks how images persist, how they shift and accumulate different meanings over time and resurface in new forms. Malarko reactivates fragments of a local visual culture not as an act of preservation, but as a way of natural continuation. . #malarko #bsmt #bsmtspace #comicabstract

Artist Spotlight 🧡 UK-based artist @davidshillinglaw dives deep into the complexities of human nature, exploring success, failure, and the language we use to make sense of it all. Moving fluidly between street and studio, his multidisciplinary practice spans drawings, collages, large-scale murals, and immersive installations. Shillinglaw’s work captures the tension between chaos and control, where vibrant colours, fragmented text, and expressive human forms collide within structured grids and ordered lines.
