Sohrab Crews: Fragments Aligned, Selected Works, 2003-2025 at Roseberry Road Studios

This career-spanning exhibition presents a selection of works by Sohrab Crews, tracing the development of his unique visual language from 2003 to 2025. Through a complex synthesis of painting, sculpture, and collage, the artist explores human desires for order and meaning, utilizing found objects and poetic text-based patterns to comment on modern existence.

Sohrab Crews: Fragments Aligned, Selected Works, 2003-2025 offers an intimate look at the evolution of a practice deeply rooted in the artist's sketchbook, where ideas are first formulated through drawings and prose. The exhibition demonstrates how Crews transforms personal reflection into visual reality, using bold colors, geometric shapes, and a diverse range of materials—from gravel and graphite to discarded items like walking sticks and ceramic cats—to create distinct, narrative-driven fragments. By assembling these materials, Crews imbues his work with an intense energy that challenges both his previous practice and the traditional art historical canon. Throughout the collection, the artist utilizes a signature system of four-letter words in column formats to interrogate themes of capitalism, over-consumption, and the nature of modern advertising. These intellectual enquiries are woven with deeply autobiographical threads, connecting universal human experiences such as joy, pain, and mortality with personal stories of identity and survival. The display bridges the gap between the material and the conceptual, inviting visitors to engage with the humor, intensity, and pointed cultural critiques embedded in works spanning over two decades.

The exhibition is open to the public with free tickets available for reservation. Visitors are encouraged to book their entry through the link provided on the exhibition page to ensure access during the gallery's operating hours, Friday through Sunday from 11am to 5pm, following the opening night on May 8th, 2025 at 6pm.
