Cucumber Season

Private View Friday 28th February 6-9pm all welcome.

Cucumber Season is a solo exhibition by artist Dominic Watson.

Watson will be creating a large scale immersive installation in Strange Cargo’s main gallery. Using a variety of media Watson will create a multi-sensory experience for the for the audience.

Dominic Watson is a multidisciplinary artist whose work delves into the intersections of history, mythology, and contemporary culture. Through a diverse practice encompassing sculpture, installation, video, and performance, Watson creates thought-provoking narratives that blend humour, critique, and the surreal.

Inspired by folklore, historical events, and the cultural mythologies that shape collective identity, Watson’s work re-contextualises the day-to-day, using semiotics to explore their relevance in the modern world. His pieces often balance the tension between tradition and innovation, combining meticulous craftsmanship with experimental materials and techniques.

Watson has exhibited across the UK and internationally, including solo and group shows at institutions and galleries (St Chads, Cob Gallery, Goldsmiths CCA, Whitechapel Gallery, Castor Gallery). His sometimes satirical work provokes critical conversations around politics, class and social structures, offering audiences a fresh perspective on the intersections of past and present.

Watson continues to develop a dynamic practice that blends storytelling with material exploration, manifesting itself as immersive installation and animated sculpture.
