Cai Arfon Bellis

Cai Arfon Bellis is a south London based artist whose practice is concerned with communal experiences and forms of celebration. His work starts as on-site observational drawings exploring his experience of London’s rave culture. The drawings capture the relationship between MC, DJ & crowd, mostly at Jungle and Grime events, two subcultures he’s grown-up and participated in from a young age. Bellis’s work is a translation of those experiences, playing with the personal and impersonal, studying interactions with strangers and the forms that emerge from masses occupying crowded environments, while aesthetically drawing a line between figuration and abstraction.
