Chino Moya - Monosodium Glutamate

We’re delighted to announce Chino Moya’s first solo show Monosodium Glutamate, opening on September 15th (Private Viewing 6 – 9pm) at our Pocko gallery in Dalston, East London.

From the Spanish multidisciplinary artist Chino Moya, this show explores the themes of loneliness, gender, & collapsing utopias at the fringes of urban life. The collection features portraits of tormented outsiders alongside small still lifes of mass-produced, symbolically pious objects.

Inspired by José de Ribera, the Baroque painter, who used vagrants as models for his religious paintings, Moya looked for white middle-aged men living in the fringes in London, Los Angeles and Madrid.

Private Viewing 6 – 9pm, 15th Sept 2022
