GRIMM is pleased to announce Where Rocco Found a Dead Monster OR The Land of the Downcast Eyes, a solo exhibition by Charles Avery, on view at the Amsterdam gallery from October 9 through November 14, 2026.
For two decades Charles Avery devoted his practice to describing – through drawing, writing and sculptural objects – the inhabitants, topography and culture of a fictional Island. Then, in 2024, he set The Islanders aside to begin a new project which he refers to as The Eidolons. As the artist has stated: 'Within this matrix, one picture – or proposition – gives rise to the next, establishing a community of interrelated forms – a primitive universe of simple and numerable parts, which will develop to create an utterly legible account of its own existence.’
