His works feature symbolism like fish, lemons, and fantastical beasts that he refers to as ‘manimals’. He is the inaugural recipient of the Ritzau Art Prize and an awardee of the Sir. Frank Bowling Scholarship at the RCA. His first US solo exhibition, ‘On Delegitimisation and Solidarity…’
@iscp_ny curated by Amy Rosenblum-Martín, was named among the 10 best exhibitions in New York City of 2021 by
