Inviting viewers to explore a unique visual history through an array of mediums, including sculpture, painting, and photography,
15 operates as both an archive and a new chapter in the gallery’s artist-led development.
From some of the earliest pieces ever shown – Lovemore Kambudzi’s
Pamusika, 2012; Nathalie Anguezomo Mba Bikoro’s
The Witch I, 2011 – to preliminary work from a major institutional project still in development (Leah Gordon’s
Caravan, Ty-Rhos, Pentre Evan Wood, Pembrokeshire, 2023, from her ongoing project
Monument to the Vanquished),
15 embodies the breadth of the gallery’s diverse interests, and the characteristic sensibility that unites them.
Alongside works from emerging artists such as Sola Olulode’s
Send Nudes, featured in her 2023 solo Burning, like the star that showed us to our love, older pieces like Abe Odedina’s
Love Boat, 2011 or Wole Lagunju’s
Gelede II: Satire and Parody, 2013, exemplify Ed Cross’ commitment to artists over their storied careers. Artefacts of practices and relationships that span decades, Ed Cross is proud to show works that testify to the development of individual artists as well as that of the gallery’s overarching project.
