Award-winning Colombian contemporary artist Felipe Chavez will be hosting his latest display ‘The Hollow Man’ at The Lighterman in King’s Cross (London, UK) from the 3rd of September to the 3rd of December. The display will consist of a range of 17 paintings, Indian ink on paper; it is a showcase of Felipe’s recent artistic exploration of his medium, combined with his instinctive figurative interest in the human form and how gender and identity may, or may not, be connected to the human experience. Cover: Knives for men.
Felipe offers a fresh take on masculinity. He has created a sea of organic, almost anthropomorphic shapes that pay homage to the tangible aspects of the masculine entity. Inspired by knuckles, muscles, hair and other bodily elements, his isolating of man’s physical characteristics on the paper reveals both an interpretation of what Felipe admires in the human body and poses a challenge to our assumptions of what makes a physical man.
Opening Tuesday 3rd of September- Tuesday 3rd of December 3 Granary Square, Kings Cross, London N1C 4BH
