‘Land’ by Samuel Ross at White Cube (until 14 May 2023), marks the Black British artist and designer's first solo foray into the world of fine art
’ first solo foray into the world of fine art. Ross initially rose to prominence circa 2015 by way of his meticulously crafted fashion label A-Cold-Wall: a thesis on the British class system. For a near decade, he has created body-mapped garments that tackle race and socioeconomics in abstract and visceral manners whilst draping and flowing in beautiful symbiosis with the human form.The artist's inaugural solo exhibition at White Cube Bermondsey is a multisensory experience.
Ross has been quietly refining his artistic practice. The oldest of the artworks on display, a three-piece concrete sculpture, was made in 2016. Sitting in the furthest corner of the room, it props up a burning incense stick filling the space with an oaky scent that lingers, tantalising your senses as you manoeuvre through the exhibition.To the artist, these paintings and sculptures are to be viewed as ‘lucid and open, not rigid’.
In conversation, Ross cites American sociologist W.E.B Du Bois’ theory of double consciousness − an inward 'twoness' experienced by members of the African diaspora, brought on by racialised oppression. He also expresses a desire to formulate a pictorial lexicon for what British Caribbean abstraction could look like in the 21st century.
