"If I had to find one overarching theme, it would probably be how terrifying desire is."
A recent film I produced with
@guapdaddy99 for
@artbasel about painter, musician, and writer Issy Wood (
@isywod ).
Her exhibition, 'Study For No' opens at
@lafayetteanticipations in Paris tonight.
Artist Issy Wood stands as a formidable creative force, wielding a trifecta of painting, music, and writing to powerful effect. In this episode of ‘Meet the artists,’ we’re offered a glimpse of her prolific output in her East London studio, which is lined with works in various states of completion. ‘I make maybe three or four paintings at a time,’ she says, ‘So when one isn’t abiding by my rules, I can seek refuge in the other.’ Often framed as extreme close-ups, the imagery is visceral and intellectual, tender and eerie.
