EDWYNN HOUK GALLERY | 2 March – 15 April, 2023

From his earliest photographs made during the Civil Rights movement in Birmingham, Alabama to his most recent works in Bernalillo, New Mexico where he has lived since the 1970s, Lyon has been a witness to American history and an active participant in its shaping. One of the founding fathers of New Journalism, he immersed himself in the social and political issues of the 1960s. This exhibition presents the breadth of Lyon’s photographic work, highlighting more recent modern landscapes of Standing Rock Indian Reservation and portraits of immigrants in the American Southwest.

Flowers Gallery | 31 March - 29 April 2023, 2023

In her first solo exhibition with Flowers Gallery, London-based photographer Gabby Laurent investigates the dichotomy between the safe and domestic and the dangerous and vulnerable. Often using herself as subject, Laurent's practice rests at the junction between photography and performance, inspired by feminist and performance art history.

Through his work, Wang conjures a way of seeing the world with a renewed sense of wonder. Patterns of an insect’s wings, the delicate filaments of a flower’s petals, or the peel of an orange all become larger than life, thereby revealing a hidden world of beauty that lies right beneath our nose. By presenting these details in such large and vivid formats, Wang invites us to appreciate the complexity and grace that reside in the most banal of things.
