Jaylon Israel Hicks: Favourite Planet at Marc Selwyn Fine Art
July 2024
Favourite Planet, a solo exhibition by Jaylon Israel Hicks at the Camden Annex gallery of Marc Selwyn Fine Art opens this Saturday 13 July in LA.
This exhibition contains nine works across photography, painting, and sculpture, each influenced by the aesthetics and materiality of baseball. Upon returning to Texas after a period living in Minnesota, Hicks rekindled his appreciation for the sport, which he grew up both playing and watching. Returning to his roots, Hicks felt inspired by the James Baldwin quote: “Perhaps home is not a place but simply an irrevocable condition.” This suggestion prompted an internal search about where Hicks feels the most at home, and what that concept truly means to him. He expands the connotation of home and intertwines it with baseball through a series of home plate sculptures and other references to the physical elements of the game included in this exhibition.
Opening Reception:
Saturday 13 July, 5-7pm
427 N Camden Drive, Beverly Hills
