SERCHIA mount two spring exhibitions opening on Equinox: Bristol Gallery Weekend
Coinciding with the inaugural Bristol Gallery Weekend on March 21-24, SERCHIA Gallery will be opening two concurrent spring exhibitions.
French artist and photographer Chloé Milos Azzopardi is the current artist in residence at the Cotham gallery, whose work has been exhibited in China and mainland Europe.
Curated by Christine Serchia, their playful and provocative collection Non Technological Devices explores human reliance on technology and our ever-more fragile relationship with the natural world.
is needed now More than ever
Azzopardi’s images depict ‘organic cyborgs’ of a fictionalised future, created from natural composite materials, offering the viewer “avenues of reflection on what could be an iconography of ecological self-defense”.

George Maund is a UK-based photographer whose work centres on the portrayal of human connection.
His exhibition Plastic Flowers deals specifically with his own relationship with masculinity as a performative construct, and the ways in which it might be reimagined.
Through staged scenes of so-called ‘male’ objects and intimate portraiture of the significant men in his life, Maund’s images abound with candour, beauty and vulnerability.
