Sholto Blissett (b.1996, Salisbury) creates dream-like vistas that sit beyond any traceable time period. Interested in notions of the idyllic, the rural, and the pastoral, Blissett’s practice seeks to deconstruct the ‘fictions societies create to understand their place in nature’. In Garden of Hubris XXVII (2022) a solitary, ornately-arched building is depicted at the top of a vast waterfall framed by a decadent mountainscape – exposing the fragility of human life against the vast, timelessness and wild landscape. Blissett has described this ongoing series as ‘a play on the Garden of Eden, and a human dreamland that is slightly dystopian despite trying to be utopian.’
