Jonathan Baldock: Personae

First solo of the artist at Stephen Friedman Gallery, “Personae” follows Jonathan Baldock‘s solo show at Camden Arts Centre, London earlier this year and precedes a solo exhibition at Kunsthall Stavanger, Norway in May 2020.

Bringing together a new series of ceramic masks that teem with bright colours mixing with pop elements, “Personae” shows the work of Baldock is saturated with humour and wit as well as an uncanny, macabre quality that channels the artist’s longstanding interest in myth, folklore and narratives associated with ‘outsider’ practices.
