Sofia de la Cruz, Hypebae, 3 March 2023

HYPEBAE FEATURES STUDIO WEST'S EXHIBITION, 'SKIN DEEP'.  

 

"Art gallery STUDIO WEST reveals  SKIN DEEP, a new group exhibition featuring eleven up-and-coming UK-based figurative painters and their vulnerable exploration of the human body as a vessel through which we interface with the external world.
 

Through various renderings of skin texture and surface, Ada Bond, Alice Miller, C Lucy R Whitehead, Iga Bielawska, Ki Yoong, Moussa David Saleh, Naila Hazell, Nina Baxter, Preslav Kostov, Serpil Mavi Üstün and Sophie Milner seek to remind us of our corporeal fragility. The showcased works depict the porousness of the protective yet penetrable barrier that contains us, expanding on the emotional depth that makes us human."
