Here’s a bit about what he’s up to: “Under the alias MM, the artist presents LepidopTerror, a series of large-scale paintings to be displayed as part of a completely immersive sensory experience of sight, sound and scent. The exhibition, curated in a ‘room within a room’ will engage the viewer subliminally, through sight, sound and smell. Juxtaposed by the clinical brightness of the external space, this enclosing ‘cocoon’ will draw upon subtle such elements as darkness, warmth, and low frequency sound, which will be felt but not heard.
The new series of paintings by MM will see the traditional butterfly motif assume a unique and evocative significance. Butterflies, symbols of life, death, rebirth and reincarnation, have been incorporated into the work of some of history’s most celebrated artists, from Salvador Dali to Damien Hirst. MM’s butterflies, however, are rather more sinister – while from afar the viewer is struck by stunning hues and conventional winged beauty, on closer inspection the reality is one of armed creatures, with thoughts and actions uncertain and threatening.”
The exhibition will take place from 15th – 26th September.
The Prodigy have not long released a live DVD and album, recorded at their own Warriors’ Dance Festival, titled ‘World’s On Fire’.
