Selected by Mousse at London Gallery Weekend, June 2023.
The exhibition, her third with Carlos/Ishikawa, features a series of self portraits from the artist’s personal collection—on view for the first time—alongside an installation of five painted pieces from a modular sofa set.
Issy Wood’s paintings suggest a stream of consciousness hiding something foreboding, a medieval current creeping into the millennial. Wood’s work is encrypted with symbols that suggest a psyche trying to consolidate its own interiority with social forces and layers of history—exploring how these tensions shape ideas of objectification, desire and value.
