About the Exhibition: ​Sickboy “Decompositions”

Sickboy will showcase a large body of work as well an impressive insitu installation for his solo exhibition “Decompositions”. After a 4-year hiatus from exhibiting, Sickboy has taken this opportunity to reflect upon his past body of work, to restructure a new vision of his art. There are times when a break in habits allow introspection and the ability see things from a distance. In many ways this process of self-critique inspired the artist to analyze what may be considered his signature style and output thus far as an artist. “Decompositions” is a conversation between the artist and himself, taking apart his style and re-envisioning it in a new manner and approach. We are excited to share with you this new path the artist has laid out for himself as he progresses forward.

“A lot can be said with an ever-expanding suitcase of signs and symbols and an increasing focus on detail, but after a year of hibernating inside my own mind I began to break through my own self-imposed traditions within my work, what became apparent to me was I already had my armor and weaponry when it came to visual language. I felt the need to break it down and start to reform a new theory within my work, snapshots of situations within my animated landscapes felt more intimate, alongside this visual re-appropriation of my signature style i have purely been focused on the act of painting the techniques I can use, develop and call my own, alongside this the use of modern technology fused with tradition painting techniques is bringing my real life reference material into my paintings using 360 degree technology and site specific installations accompany my work to inform you of a complete up to date pictorial vision

With my first US solo show since 2014 ‘Decompositions’ i have taken my abstract surreal world, broken it up and rebuilt a bolder brighter future for a land i cannot leave”

Some very nice OG’s there. Show looks great

Sickboy should be as big as Kaws. But isn't. The work is as good. Subversive eye candy... maybe a ittle rawere and rough... but that's part of the Sickboy charm....He needs a big name business machine. Been on his own for too long.

Massively underrated artist. Absolutely love this new stuff he’s doing. Those OG’s look sick!

Good work all round.

I’ve got a signed show card if anyone would like to trade. I’ll throw in an unsigned one as well, so the two can be shown together. Shoot me a message if you’re interested.
