London: Word To Mother – Essence of Adolescence

Word To Mother 'Essence Of Adolescence'

With his fifth solo show at StolenSpace entitled ‘Essence of Adolescence’,  Word to Mother invites the viewer to take a glimpse of his inner mindscape. Featuring a new body of mixed media paintings on wooden panels, the artworks combine references drawn from his childhood, cartoons juxtaposed with more serious emotive thoughts and fears that face him as an adult living and painting in East London.
