Of the beast in me that everybody knows
They've seen him out dressed in my clothes
Patently unclear if it's New York or New Year
God help the beast in me
-excerpt from The Beast in Me by Nick Lowe
The Beast in Me loosely draws it's inspiration from Nick Lowe's somber lyrics. The tune describes an ever-present internal battle to control and express one's passion, personifying emotion as the Beast—which manifests itself as an almost second personality. Visual artists likewise grapple with the forces within that compel them to create what they do. This exhibition attempts to give form to that compulsion both physically and conceptually, exploring the multiple facets of the Beast's influence on artistic expression.
