In celebration of Frieze Week, October Gallery continues its collaboration with Honey & Smoke Grill House with an exhibition of striking works by LR Vandy and Kenji Yoshida.
LR Vandy presents dynamic sculptural works on the ground floor of the restaurant. Vandy transforms model boat hulls into ‘masks’, animating them with various materials, including fishing floats, porcupine quills and acupuncture needles. While simultaneously creating a vibrant and arresting body of work, Vandy’s Hulls allude to the transportation of migrants as commodities.
Mesmerising works on paper and canvas by Kenji Yoshida (1924 – 2009) are presented in the downstairs area of the restaurant. Employing an elliptical language of coloured forms often rendered in silver and gold leaf, Yoshida invites the viewer to consider the fundamental forces of life and meditate upon that essential unity that binds us all together.
The collaboration has been designed by October Gallery’s Artistic Director Elisabeth Lalouschek, Curator Eleri Fanshawe, and Chefs Itamar Srulovich and Sarit Packer, the couple behind Honey & Smoke Grill House.
