CCA Galleries International is pleased to present an exhibition surrounded by surrealism with local and reknowned international artists who delve into the subconcious and bring their imagery to the surface of reality.

It is 100 years since Andre Breton wrote the first Surrealist Manifesto in 1924 calling for a reimagination of the real to dispel the kind of 'rationalism' that had brought about the First World War.  There was no fixed tenet of surrealism, rather multiple experimenters came together with a belief in changing how we might approach our experience of the world. What draws them together is the idea of an interior and exterior reality as two elements in a process of conflict and unification, a mission to integrate the products of the unconscious mind with conscious life and to open ourselves up to the possibilities of contradiction.
Surrealism attracted some of the most interesting artists of the day whose spirit of revolt can be traced through the intervening years and touches upon many artists working now. It is with delight that CCA Galleries International can bring together a wonderful group of artists who draw out the important threads of the early Surrealists. From reconfiguring the objects of everyday life to turning prescribed ideas about sexuality upside down, choosing to tap directly into the unconscious or juxtapose contradictory elements to create a new reality, to cut up or zoom into the realities of contemporary life. Playing with the semiotics and meaning of things these artists challenge the fictions of truth and the realities of our times. 

The show will be open until Friday April 26, 2024. 


Gallery opening times Monday - Friday 12:00 - 6:00 PM
Weekends by appointment only.

CCA Galleries International is calling for visual artists to participate in the Jersey Summer Exhibition 2024, modelled on the annual Royal Academy Summer Show. The exhibited work is selected by a panel of professional artists and displayed for sale in a group exhibition. The Jersey Summer Exhibition is entering its 8th year and it remains the highlight event in the gallery's calendar. It is an opportunity open to both emerging and established artists.

The gallery welcomes all forms of visual art, such as original prints, paintings, drawings, sculptures, films, and photography. CCAI is open to applications from artists who have connections to the island and are working elsewhere, as well as artists living and working in Jersey.

Performed by Mark Knopfler’s Guitar Heroes, produced by his longtime collaborator Guy Fletcher (who has edited the contributions into a 9 minute piece), the track features an unprecedented line-up of some of the greatest guitarists in history. ‘Legendary’ does not begin to cover it - David Gilmour to Ronnie Wood, Slash to Eric Clapton, Sting to Joan Armatrading, Bruce Springsteen to Pete Townshend, Nile Rodgers to Joan Jett, Brian May to Tony Iommi, Sam Fender and many more jaw dropping names.
 
And, in a great honour, the track opens with Jeff Beck’s final recording. 

Roger Daltrey, Teenage Cancer Trust’s Honorary Patron and co-founder of Teen Cancer America (with Pete Townshend), added harmonica, and Beatles icon Ringo Starr is on drums along with his son Zak Starkey, their two drum tracks switching from one to the other, revealing an unmistakable family style. Sting completes an extraordinary rhythm section on bass.

With artwork designed by Sir Peter Blake (The Beatles, The Who, Band Aid, Paul Weller etc), this release is a landmark in rock music history.
