His work encompassed painting, drawing, writing, sculpture, photography, and sound. This focused selection highlights paintings that are tender, quiet, and lush, transcending the traditional tourist's view of island life in favour of perspectives that explore how and why we look at where we are.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePublished on the occasion of the 2022 exhibition at David Zwirner, this catalogue includes an introduction by the show's curator Hilton Als.
