John Bunker's 'Antinomies' Exhibition at ASC Unit 3 Gallery Features Cardboard Abstractions
John Bunker's exhibition 'Antinomies' runs from 15 to 24 November 2025 at ASC Unit 3 Gallery near Bromley-By-Bow underground station. The show presents eight completed works, including wall-hung sculptures and pieces on plinths, with a focus on cardboard as both painting surface and sculptural material. Visitors can also view Bunker's adjacent studio containing additional works and materials. The exhibition explores abstract art through eccentric spaces between painting and sculpture, with works like 'Vampire Survivor' (2025), 'Mithras' (2025), 'Rausch II' (2025), and 'Sculpture FUR/FLA/FLE/BIS' (2025). Painter E.C. praised the show on Instagram as an antidote to commercial gallery culture, noting its challenge to categorical boundaries. Critic Geoff Hands, who has followed Bunker's work since writing about his 2016 exhibition 'TRIBE' at Westminster Reference Library for AbCrit, describes the works as generating implied movement through color changes and subdivisions of form. The exhibition creates an interrelational atmosphere where visitors engage with the works socially.
