Exhibition Runs: 20th November – 2nd December 2025 | 11am – 5:30pm
🥂 Private View: Thursday 20th November | 6pm – 9pm

Dive into the blurred lines of reality and deception with eight contemporary artists exploring how truth and lies intersect with visual art. From painting and photography to sculpture, installation, and film, this exhibition asks: has making art always toyed with truth and deception?
