Jad Oakes
London-based Jad Oakes explores the possibilities of photography and the moving image for sculptural installations, prints and photogravures.
His works are presented as collections or bodies of work that are connected by their process, theme and technique. The main thread that ties these bodies of works together is a fascination with memory and time.
Since 2014 he has developed and nurtured an ongoing series of small scale silent looping film installations housed in wooden sculptures titled Vessels.
Condensed Vessel Videos:
Using timbers of Oak, Walnut and Bog Oak these moving image sculptures seek to connect with the viewer by projecting them into an alternative space and time.
Of the Vessels series he notes a desire to “create intimate emotive sculptures, enticing contemplation and memory.”
Jad Oakes was awarded the Aesthetica Prize at the 2019 ING Discerning Eye Exhibition.
