Gallery Vacancy is pleased to present Waterplay, the inaugural solo exhibition of Henry Curchod in Shanghai, on view through December 21, 2024. On the occasion of this exhibition, the London-based artist debuts sixteen drawing-based paintings following a recent artist residency in Paxos, Greece. Using the leitmotif of sailors and fisherman: from depictions of life entwined with the sea, to their ancestral beliefs and maritime mythologies, this body of work not only illustrates the mercurial nature of the sea, but also serves as a poignant reminder of our dynamic relationship with it; presently safeguarded by a community that has itself been neglected.
