[Artist Talk] On Faerie Land

In Faerie Land, UK-based artist Jakob Rowlinson takes you on a queer journey through the dark forests of fantasy literature and pop culture. Here, lusty Disney characters dwell in the forests of medieval tapestries, kinky boots are transformed into Green Man masks, and swordplay takes on a whole new meaning.

Rowlinson is an exciting emerging figure in the London art scene. He is joined for the opening of Faerie Land by curator Dr Chelsea Nichols for a discussion of the exhibition in the gallery space. Come along to hear about the creation of and meanings behind these stunning artworks.

Rowlinson was born in 1990 and raised in Norwich, which claims to be the most complete medieval city in the United Kingdom. He studied Fine Art at the Ruskin School of Art, University of Oxford before completing an MA in sculpture at the Royal College of Art. Now based in London, Rowlinson has exhibited widely across the UK and Europe.
