Vegas Gallery, 64-66 Redchurch Street, London 

Open Wedesday to Saturday 12am-6pm

James Unsworth will show his newest drawings. Influenced by Daniel Johnston, James' work presents a grotesque and precisely detailed picture of a dark world all of us have visited but are scared to dwell upon let alone talk about, in order to preserve our own sanity. Many of his works are centred on a sexually obsessive honesty that captivates the viewer in its brazen delivery.

THE FUTURE CAN WAIT
10th - 14th October
Atlantis Gallery, 146 Brick Lane, London 

Open 11am-10pm

The biggest ever museum-scale privately curated exhibition for breaking artists. Curators Zavier Ellis and Simon Rumley have now announced the full list of artists set to exhibit in the Old Truman Brewery’s Atlantis Gallery, in what promises to be a seminal show in the future of art history. Ellis and Rumley have selected the best of what they describe as The New London School – artists whose work deals with the human condition in painting, video and installation, underpinned by an emphasis on technical expertise.

Featuring the art stars of the moment, The Future Can Wait will be bigger than anything of its kind that has gone before. It will also offer a contrast to the more limited viewing context of the art fair booth system by showing a wealth of work as it was originally intended – in a spectacular, spacious environment. Featuring these London-based artists for its inaugural year, The Future Can Wait will eventually take on global partners to become a primary showcase for international artists.
