Diann Bauer's ambitious new installation at Paradise Row, London moves away from her earlier, Japanese-inspired work into new styles and new media. Her concave and convex walls dominate and intrude upon the gallery space. The black perspex creates a black painting, acting as referent and object simultaneously, and the multiplicity of information interspersed with cartoonish interjections and jutting architectural forms break up the voluptuous figures. Necrotroph-optopolis melds the inspiration of the Italian Renaissance with architectural theorist's such as Lebbeus Woods to create an all-encompassing experience of drawing, painting, and sculpture.

Necrotroph-optopolis at Paradise Row until 17 November.
