The Stories We Tell

Victoria Miro will present the works of three young emerging artists in The Stories We Tell. Through their paintings, Tidawhitney Lek, Emil Sands and Khalif Tahir Thompson, explore memory, identity, family and the body. Lek draws on experiences growing up as a first generation American, born to immigrant parents. Sands paints the human body on large canvases, often in expansive landscapes. Often using family photographs for inspiration, Thompson builds on cultural references and their connection to the modern world.
