‘Rush On Them - Parodies on Paper’ offers a reminder of the ability of art to confront us with deeper truths without words.

Organised by The Surrey Institute of Art & Design in collaboration with the artist, Peter Rush, the exhibition presents an overview of Peter Rush’s paper sculpture.

It also offers an insight into the art of paper technique, the hallmark of Peter Rush’s work. Including life-size, smaller cased, and interactive sculptures, the work brought together in ‘Rush on Them’ mixes gentle humour with more acerbic parody and satire.
