From today one can see the young British Goldsmiths graduate Phoebe Colling-James’s first solo exhibition at the Ritter/Zamet gallery in London.
The show’s title is inspired by the wise and endlessly rich oeuvre of seminal American writer James Baldwin. It thus sets the tone and mood for Collings-James’ exhibition and her continuous concern with racial and gender-based inadequacies played out against the austere, formal language of minimalism. Violence, sex and desire are subliminal in these artworks; they are at once beguiling and unsettling, seemingly fragile yet laden with menace.
The exhibition will be on display at Ritter/Zamet gallery, 80a Ashfield Street London E1 2BJ, from October 11 – November 23.
