The Asylum

Preparatory drawing & sketches for the Frieze Masters 2015 ‘The Asylum’

The Asylum was an immersive installation consisting of an intricate set of three rooms reimagined from a French Victorian Mental Asylum of 1945, retracing the inspiration for late works of Jean Dubuffet The drawings & unconscious doodles of the patients that cover the wall and furniture express the raw energy and colour that illustrate the freedom of expression that so inspired Dubuffet.

Commissioned by Helly Nahmad for the Helly Nahmad Gallery, It was designed by Robin Brown, and produced by Anna Pank.
