En Attendant
Michael Wilkinson solo exhibition
Shanghai
Overview
SHANGHAI—Pearl Lam Galleries will present the first ever exhibition of British artist Michael Wilkinson’s work in China. En Attendant will present over 20 works including new large-scale collages and important sculptures and canvases from the recent Dresden series.
Wilkinson’s work is characterised by subtly layered collages, which draw from a variety of cultural references such as pop culture, political and art history, punk rock and anarchism. The artist uses materials including found photographs from the 19th and 20th centuries, blackboard paint, beeswax, audio and VHS tape, vinyl records, cellophane and etched mirrors.
