Stacey Gillian Abe’s first solo exhibition ‘Shrub-let of Old Ayivu’ with Unit Gallery, London is an exploration of memory, time and emotion. Focusing on the concept of shared memory, Abe’s latest body of work examines how memories have been passed down through her family’s lineage, alluding to the ways in which traditions are absorbed and transformed from generation to generation.

Atelier JI was delighted to work on the ‘What We Wanted’ limited edition print for Unit London and Stacey Gillian Abe to coincide with this exhibition.

With her paintings, Abe explores the transference of abstract memory, of subjects that are not easily explained visually. These notions do not simply materialise through composition or through the artist’s own subjectivity. Instead, they take shape within the space of the canvas itself, seemingly forming from the subject’s own consciousness. Each painting and each figure tell a different story, becoming part of a tapestry of interwoven threads.

‘Shrub-let of Old Ayivu’ will be on display at Unit London from 22 November 2022 until 27 January 2023.
