Michaela Yearwood-Dan Introduces her exhibition 'No Time for Despair' in London

Описание: Through paintings, sculpture, site-specific murals and installations, Michaela Yearwood-Dan endeavors to build spaces of community, abundance and joy.

Yearwood-Dan’s debut exhibition with Hauser & Wirth will take place in London, featuring new paintings ranging from monumental to intimate in scale, including an expansive 11m-long panelled landscape painting, alongside richly adorned ceramic sculptures and benches.

Through these multiple mediums, Yearwood-Dan explores the quieter tones of femininity and queer community guided by deep intuition. The lyrical quality of the paintings is complemented by a new immersive sound piece made in collaboration with the composer Alex Gruz, a reflection on the analogous experience of art and music alike, setting the tone with which to view the paintings.

The title of the show, ‘No Time for Despair,’ is a call to action to find joy and connect in times of darkness, referencing an article written by Toni Morrison for The Nation, which states, ‘In times of dread, artists must never choose to remain silent.’

'No Time for Despair' is on view at our London gallery through 2 August.
