DATING IN THE MODERN AGE
MR DIMPLES
4-26 AUG
In the movies finding love is made to look easy, as everyone’s happily ever after is not that far away. However, in reality it really is not. Since the rise of dating apps and technology there are even more hurdles, frustrations and challenges that face the poor singles of the world.
I had my Instagram viewers send in their dating horror stories. This exhibition is a reflection, a laugh and a venting session on their dating journey, but also mine. Dating is not that simple, from ghosting, catfishing, game players and deceptive people, the dating world is a completely new game.
Dating In The Modern Age focuses on the dating scene, whilst Mr Dimples uses his iconic characters to tell these stories.
