Artist and photographer
@sheekswinsalways is best known for her portraiture, but her first solo exhibition in the UK moves her work across a broader terrain.
Opening at
@public.gallery this week, the exhibition presents twelve new works spanning silk, mirrored surfaces, aluminium, and collage – marking a significant moment in the New York-born, Los Angeles-based artist’s career.
Titled 𝓞𝓷𝓵𝔂 𝓛𝓸𝓿𝓮 𝓒𝓪𝓷 𝓑𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴 𝓨𝓸𝓾𝓻 𝓗𝓮𝓪𝓻𝓽, the exhibition explores transformation, reflection, and the persistence of memory — with grief treated not as an end point but as a place of transition. Flowers appear throughout as a recurring motif, standing in for beauty and fragility in equal measure.
As an early Ala Champ Magazine collaborator, Shaniqwa’s work has a signature identity, her portraiture is incomparable. Creating creative and original editorials for our print issues, where every person she photographed was able to shine through her lens. Now expanding her artistic practise, the depth to Shaniqwa’s work is now being shown across the world from New York and Los Angeles to London and Tokyo. Alongside the exhibition, Jarvis releases her second book GUTS, published by Tokyo-based publisher
@superlabo , with the book launch at
@climaxbooks in London.
Now on 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐦𝐩 𝐎𝐧𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞!
