Workplace Gallery is pleased to announce The Meeting of Two Eyebrows the first solo exhibition of Mike Pratt at Workplace London comprising an installation of recent sculpture and painting made during the summer of 2014.

All of the works are loosely based around the theme of the torso, with the wax cast paintings being produced using the same mold. In total there are 5 paintings and 5 vibrating bikers. I had always wanted to work with worn out leather jackets as a material just because they hold a close relationship to painting, with a layered surface revealing actions and incidents. I wanted these objects to be presented as a portrait, emulating an experience. Their frayed hair extensions (garnished with seashells and feathers) allow a non-verbal declaration towards the quintessential outsider, describing their characteristics through materiality.
