The work analyses the formation, legacy and interrelations that exist between overlapping cultures by collating imagery from history, mythology, and the aesthetics of contemporary culture. Working on unstretched canvas and found sheets of metal retrieved from the street, he applies paint both as fields of colour and with photographic precision depicting a personal lexicon of convergent and at times contradictory symbols.

The Approach

Inspired by the use of silhouettes in fin de siécle fairytale illustrations and early expressionist cinema, Stezaker claims to have “rediscovered the pleasures of drawing” in these works, “in the power of contour to delineate the edge between presence and absence and the imaginary and the real.”
Soft Opening
6 Minerva St, London E2 9EH
Sin Wai Kin | A Dream of Wholeness in Parts
Sin Wai Kin brings fantasy to life through storytelling via moving image, performance, writing, sound and print. Their work draws on the experience of existing between fixed categories, realising fictional narratives to describe real experiences of desire and identification.
