Wilding Cran: Michelle Blade, Mustafa Ali Clayton, Karon Davis, February James

7 - 22 October

Wilding Cran Gallery presented 'The Air Upon You', a selection of new works by Los Angeles-based artists Michelle Blade, Mustafa Ali Clayton, Karon Davis, and February James

In a celebration of both the monumental and everyday moments that have the power to bring us pause, The Air Upon You set out to explore the frameworks that form our individual perceptions of the identities we inhabit. The exhibition brought each artist’s explorations of the figurative into dialogue with one another. At the heart of the exhibition, Karon Davis’s white plaster Lounging Nude no.1 served as a guiding point, setting the stage for works by Blade, Clayton, and James.
