British artist Craig Boagey's solo exhibition "Spirit Economy" is on view at Amanita gallery in New York's Lower East Side. The show presents lush, meticulously executed paintings that assemble internet ephemera—memes, diagrams, YouTube stills, and references from online subcultures like nu-spiritualism and Remilia—into compositions that blend cute, feminine, and aspirational imagery with machinic, masculine, and esoteric elements. Works like "The All Thing" (2025) incorporate AlphaGo's famous Move 37, Christian iconography, and a memex, treating disposable digital content as cultural documents.
