It has become apparent in this unstable economy that the omnipresent desire for personal happiness is really the ultimate goal. With jobs on the line and few places to turn within the establishment to achieve such satisfaction, we are increasingly looking inward for the answers. Creativity, in its many forms, seems to be the best method of survival as we ask ourselves, "What are we going to do now?".
Now, in 2010, with our cards laid on the table and a refusal to be a victim of circumstances, High Roller Society is born. As an artist-led, integrity-fuelled space, we are a true product of our environment, nestled in London's East End, but with sights set far and wide.
Our gallery launch exhibition, NEW YEAR NEW DANGER, is about taking risks. Trusting your instincts, walking your talk, and believing that anything is possible — regardless of the surrounding climate. We are proud to present fourteen hand-selected artists who encompass these very ideals which High Roller Society was founded on. 2 SICK BASTARDS, AIDA, BASE 23, DAVE THE CHIMP, HEAD HOODS, GOUCH, JAMES UNSWORTH, JULIE BENNETT, MARCIN DUDEK, LUDVIG, NEEQUAYE DREPH, ORBIE, ROBIN MASON, and SEMOR & CO will unveil a variety of works in an array of mediums that reflect this pro-active time. From lithography to installation, these artists have created a new environment that exists between the boundaries of the traditional and the untested, a place that weaves external pressures, conflicting views, and negative outlooks into a world worth living.
There is much to expect from the unexpected. This gallery launch exhibition celebrates an exciting new venture that will positively impact any who have ever dared to challenge the face of adversity, trust in themselves, and roll high against all the odds.
