London’s enigmatic new gallery, Heist has kept up the pace since their recent launch with their latest exhibition, The Road to Elysium. A bold new group show that has collated the unique utopian visions of a selection of established and emerging fine art photographers, the exhibition has seen Heist transform into a mystical paradise to showcase the photography.
In their second exhibition, the images curated tells an arcadian tale that takes one on a neo-classical journey through other-worldly sets and thought-provoking visions that take their cues from grand folkloric Latin legends.

A number of the artists whose work is featured in the new showcase have also exhibited in some of the most prestigious institutions across the world, from Russian art and photography collective AES+F to the likes of Richard Mosse, Amanda Charchian, Laurent Badessi, Kim Keever, Madame Peripetie and Liu Ren. Exploring many of the most saturated ideals that contrast and in some ways reject the torments that face us throughout everyday life, the gallery have assembled what proves to be a boundary-breaking coalition of visionaries.
