A curation by Natalie Slater, Curator at Singulart - ‘Dog Eat Dog World’ brings together figurative works that sit somewhere between spectacle and struggle. Bodies press, pull, collide, and cling. Groups form not out of harmony, but necessity. Survival here is physical, emotional, and social—sometimes all at once. Across these paintings, power shifts constantly. One figure rises while another folds. Hands grasp, restrain, protect, or threaten. The scenes feel choreographed but unstable, like moments caught just before something tips. There’s tension in the closeness—too many bodies, too little space, no clear exit. While the palette is often seductive—cool blues, synthetic pinks, saturated flesh—the subject matter resists comfort. These works aren’t moralizing, and they’re not sentimental. They observe. They show how beauty, control, vulnerability, and dominance can exist in the same frame. This curation doesn’t offer resolution. It reflects a world where cooperation and competition blur, where connection is inseparable from conflict, and where staying afloat often means pushing against someone else. No heroes. No villains. Just the grind.
