The Wick List

Viewing Prismatic Minds, Flowers Gallery, London

Pop down to Flowers Gallery in Cork Street to see an astonishing array of works by six predominantly self-taught creatives, including Japanese artist Makoto Okawa, New Zealand artist Susan Te Kahurangi King and British artist Edward Dutkiewicz.

Curated by Jennifer Gilbert (Director of the Jennifer Lauren Gallery) and Russell Tovey (Actor, writer, and co-presenter of the hit podcast Talk Art), Prismatic Minds explores the influences and inspirations behind these artists’ highly stylized visual languages featuring repeated figures and characters.

You’ll come face to face with Makoto Okawa’s vibrant felted figures and Misleidys Francisca Castillo Pedroso’s larger-than-life cut out characters — often bodybuilders — with powerful, muscular physiques. Not to be missed are Keisuke Ishino’s bright, bold origami figures, which combine the influences of Japanese popular culture and traditional craft techniques. It’s a brilliant opportunity to see the scope of their masterful storytelling.
