Nicola Frimpong presents a digital platform exhibition. The artist specialises within digital media, textual medium, and watercolour paint. She explores race, gender, sexuality, violence, disability, and identity in her work. This documents a vast and raging universe that plays out Frimpong's psychological relationship with the politics, history and aesthetics of societal structures, whilst confronting oppressive forces of racial and ableist objectification. The artist creates dizzyingly elaborate and often playful encrypted schemes, drawn from colonial mishmash of British history, pop and institutional culture;informed by contexts as diverse as ancient Egypt to eighteenth century pornography, Baroque painting, gay porn, and slasher horror movies.

All the players in society are here. Subjected to abuse or become abuser. Delicately painted as watery, candy-coloured characters, they appear simultaneously pathetic and ecstatic, teetering somewhere between helplessness and malevolence where pleasure, pain and indifference sit next to one another without clear distinction, but given equal attention. The level of saturation and comic book detail in her drawing defies the demand to absorb the work in full grasp, as all manner of accelerated nightmares, perversions, scatological and libidinous excesses are played out in the artist's playground of hell.

Frimpong's text works are an important and generative part of her practice, the artist describing them as "psychological diarrhoea just waiting to shit out". In contrast to the figurative works, they display the familiar tropes of twentieth century expressionist painters.

As an intuitive artist, Frimpong blends her practice to share diaristic impulses, and personal confessions, to make public her perspective on societal constructs and what she sees as her refusal to socially conform.
