Step into the prismatic world of
Gabriel Moses, as
180 The Strand is transformed with two floors of more than seventy photographs and ten films (including a brand new work, The Last Hour) by the 26-year-old South London-born artist whose work honours his British-Nigerian heritage in a myriad dazzling ways.
Moses’ rich and varied career has spanned fashion, music and sport, as well as short films and music videos – for the likes of Travis Scott and Playboi Carti, and Schoolboy Q. He has shot for Louis Vuitton, Burberry and Dior, and has photographed Little Simz, Sketpa and Alek Wek, to name only a few. His inimitable, signature style combines deep, lustrous hues, minimal details and an otherworldly edge, impossible to recreate without Moses’ visionary touch.
It’s hard to believe Moses is still only at the start of his career (he started making photographs just five years ago, in 2020) and this is his first major solo exhibition – his images already transcend time and carve a space for so many possibilities and voices in the future. As the artist once told Dazed: “I imagine things in my head and find a way to make it happen”.
