"Collectively, these moments become figments of an imaginative psychic state of being, one in which radiance, resistance, restraint, comfort, and full human agency exist." —Tyler Mitchell Gagosian is pleased to present "Chrysalis," an exhibition of new photographs by Tyler Mitchell (@tylersphotos), opening on September 17 at Gagosian, Davies Street. It will be the gallery’s first solo exhibition of works by Mitchell, and his first in London. Mitchell’s photographs and videos propose a utopian vision of Black beauty, desire, and belonging. For "Chrysalis," he has produced photographs of youthful subjects in nature. Playfully theatrical and surreal, the works focus on Black figures and the landscapes they inhabit, incorporating visual signifiers of spirituality, transformation, and aspiration.
