Lucas Peel’s End Times explores the visual language of millennial memory through the lens of technology, nostalgia, and doomerism. Utilizing material and processes from his career in demolition, Peel creates multimedia collages that feel both out-of-context and uncannily familiar. In his debut solo show, Peel's large scale works combine a dense materiality, bright and demanding aesthetic, and haunting nuance that challenges the viewer to spend more time thinking about what they will leave behind.

Throughout End Times, there is an emphasis on materiality: the physical accumulation of matter on/in space, like detritus or sedimentary buildup; hyper-curated narratives interweaving technological interfaces with pop culture characters, advertising language, and memes; and the weathering of these material layers through obscurification, censorship, and removal.

Peel’s meticulous layering process involves a combination of inkjet media transfers, graffiti tagging and buffing, wheatpasting of print matter (such as self-designed posters, found photography and advertisement from vintage magazines), and direct painting/illustration via traditional means. The resulting compositions are text heavy, alluding to the artist’s poetry background, moodboard-like assemblages that live somewhere between distant memory and AI-fueled nightmare.
