Skin After Successive Skin

Ames Yavuz presents Skin After Successive Skin, Elle Wickens' first solo exhibition with the gallery. Born from a story of feminine transformation, rebirth and embodiment, the exhibition explores how the felt language of the body can be recorded through material, and how sensation can paint. Wickens creates an environment of sensory tones where painting and installation function as modes of communicating body to body. Through considered material approach, painting becomes a layered sensorial language to process and communicate being to the world. The exhibition explores the transference between artwork and audience, where the experience of an image or material can converge or depart from that of another, and where both artist and audience can explore their sensory experiences together.
