Lehmann Maupin presents, On Point, the gallery’s first exhibition with Todd Gray, and the artist’s first in London. Working between Los Angeles and Akwidaa, Ghana, Gray’s photo-based work aims to destabilize assumptions about the veracity of photography and provoke reconsiderations of long-accepted norms and beliefs about the medium. The artist’s lush photo assemblages are composed of images ranging from imperial European gardens, Baroque architecture, and Ghanian landscapes, to rock icons, seascapes, and portraits of the artist himself, all carefully arranged to create critical juxtapositions that examine ideas of African diaspora, colonialism, societal power structures, and dominant cultural beliefs.

On Point is on view March 14 - May 6, 2023
