Art Auction - Arms Around the Child, Timed (14/69)

Notes


Zak Ové (b. 1966, London. Lives and works in London and GranCanaria) is a British/Caribbean artist with a multi-disciplinary practice across sculpture, film, and photography. His work is informed in part through the history and lore carried through the African diaspora to the Caribbean, Britain and beyond with a particular focus on traditions of masking and masquerade.  Ové’s artworks explore the interplay between old world mythology and what he posits as ‘potential futures’, a space where he reinterprets existence into the fantastical. Ové uses modern materials, a soundclash of the Caribbean and African colour and the reinvention and appropriation of everyday objects to bring his characters and scenarios to life. His work is a celebration of the power of play, the spirit of imagination in the blurring of edges between reality and possibility, flesh and spirit. In this way, Ové seeks to re-write history for the future by heralding the past in a new light. 

In 2019 his work was acquired by The International Slavery Museum,

Liverpool, UK, and the Royal Ontario Museum, Canada.
