RIPE LIVE:

Papaya Salad / Lucas Console-Verma

🔶 Papaya Salad was a short-term residency project that encouraged artistic and professional development through a series of skill sharing workshops. For this third Papaya project, the Ripe Papayas, who exhibited at the Alfred Arcade last summer, reconnected and developed both individual and collective outcomes, culminating in a group exhibition.

🎨 A new exhibition was launched at the Hidden Wardrobe, Traces Between Worlds by Lucas Console-Verma. Lucas is a painter whose work explores the relationship between past and present through the language of painting. Drawing on the complexity of Old Master compositions and his own photographic material, he constructs imagined scenes that hover between memory, emotion, and abstraction.

🎵 Music was provided at the Alfred Arms by Southampton-based music collective, Address.
