IVAR WIGAN – YOUNG LOVE
2017-08-28Building on the runaway success of his first solo exhibition with us: The Gods in 2015, Ivar Wigan returns with a new body of work documenting two years living in Jamaica.
Expanding on the artist’s long standing relationship with the island, first encountered in his youth whilst living nomadically with his family, Young Love is both documentation and celebration of a culture Wigan holds in deep affection. His organic response to the idiosyncrasies of the island capture the spirit of youthful energy, sexual freedom and resourcefulness against adversity. Images shift effortlessly between the domestic, the jubilant and the bizarre, whilst the subtle beauty of daily life is juxtaposed with raucous party scenes and unflinching portraiture.
Opposite – The Business, 2012
Exhibition runs through to September 11th, 2017
