This is the second of the new Art Now Lightbox series, and presents the work of four artists living and working in Britain. Although each artist's practice is distinct, there are shared concerns. Exploring the relationship between abstraction and figuration, between sound and image, they use diverse means to create compelling and complex films.
Each presentation runs for three weeks.
