A solo exhibition of new works by Nick Goss is currently on show at Perrotin, Paris. The show takes its name from the peninsula forming the easternmost part of Kent. In Goss' own words:
“I was chatting to a curator who recently moved to Margate in Kent where the genesis of the idea for this series of paintings began. She mentioned how that area of Kent, including Margate, Broadstairs, and Ramsgate, used to be detached from the mainland; it was only in the 1600s that the river that separated the Isle of Thanet with the UK silted up and joined the two together. People who live in that part of the United Kingdom still refer to that area as ‘the Isle’. This idea has proved a starting point to make a set of paintings that considers what it’s like living on an island, what that might mean at this point in time."
To coincide with the exhibition, Perrotin have collaborated with The Steidz to create a special issue, exploring the work of Nick Goss.
