About

Cavaliero Finn returns to Stockwell Studio to present ‘Collections’, an exhibition which explores how artists put together collections to express a narrative, create a sequence or show different sides of the same subject.

Whether a pair, a triptych or a collection of odd and even numbers, this mixed-media exhibition looks at how an artist conceives a collection, assembling individual works to create the whole, and how collectors respond to this — bringing their own interpretation to their work, often altering the display to suit their own aesthetic. There is a freedom and playfulness to collections that almost cries out for interaction, reinterpretations, rearrangements, sometimes seeing it move away from the original conception in a new home. With collections it’s not just about the work itself but also the spaces in between, the interaction between the elements when placed together.

Through this exploration, ‘Collections’ highlights the dynamic dialogue between artist, artwork and collector —where meaning evolves, compositions shift and new narratives emerge, ensuring that each collection remains a living, ever-changing entity.

‘Collections’ features a curated selection of textile, ceramic, metal, glass and wood works by Cavaliero Finn’s artists created especially for the show.
