SOCO Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition by artist Isabelle Young. This will be the artist’s first exhibition with the gallery and first solo exhibition of work in the United States.

Isabelle Young is a British artist based in London, but her work is about somewhere else, elsewhere, as the title of the exhibition denotes. Born and raised in London, the artist was strongly tied to her Italian roots. Now, her time in Italy is vital to her artistic practice. She describes her time there as “urgent, and I return to a part of myself which I only find in Italy.” Young observes heightened curiosity in unfamiliar places. She frequently travels to Italy but each visit feels as though it is new.

It is not until she returns home to London that she can unpack the new work she has created, adding “It gives me a new perspective which I might not immediately have until I’m out of context from the places I was photographing. A bit like writing, you need to lock it in a drawer for a bit then go back to it.”

Isabelle has always stressed the importance of the production process in her practice and Metro Imaging has been collaborating with her since her time at the RCA.
