Emil Sands - Works On Paper - Viewing Room - Tibor de Nagy Gallery Viewing Room

As a complement to his recent solo exhibition at the gallery, we present a series of works on paper, focusing on the male figure and images from nature. As with his paintings, the British-born artist asks:

 

How far will men go to be crowned men by other men?


Using the imagery and symbolism of American hazing culture, frat parties, and secret society rituals as a starting point, the work of Emil Sands breaks down the making of a man. Here are figures we recognise in worlds we don’t. In this borderland between the real and make believe, shame abounds, desperation warps human action, and violence is writ large on the male body.

Emil Sands - Works On Paper - Viewing Room - Tibor de Nagy Gallery Viewing Room

Some figures question their actions, while others stare blankly ahead. All of them are watched, or in a state of watching. Who sees what when? Sands captures masculinity on stage, gender performed. But we are not in hell. This play needn’t be a tragedy.

 

Emil Sands was born in London in 1998, and currently lives and works in New York. He attended Central St. Martins for a Fine Art Painting foundation in 2017 and the University of Cambridge from 2018 until 2022, where he read Classics for his BA and studied for an MPhil in Ancient Art. In 2022, he was then awarded the Henry Fellowship to study Fine Art and Creative Writing at Yale's School of Art and Writing School respectively. His work has been exhibited in group shows across the UK - at the Crypt Gallery in London, and Mostyn gallery in Wales, most notably. His personal essay Struck on one Side, which focused on his experience growing up with Cerebral Palsy, was published in the March 2023 edition of The Atlantic magazine (link), along with his paintings. He is currently working on extending the piece into a memoir.

Emil Sands - Works On Paper - Viewing Room - Tibor de Nagy Gallery Viewing Room

Exerpt from Struck on One Side, The Atlantic Monthly, March 2023

My memory of the moment, almost a decade ago, is indelible: the sight of a swimmer's back, both sides equal-each as good and righteous as the other. An ordinary thing, and something I had never had, and still don't have. To think of that moment is to feel torn-once again-about how I should respond to my condition: whether to own it, which would be the brave response, as well as the proper one, in many people's eyes; or to regret it, even try to conceal it, which is my natural response.

I have a form of cerebral palsy called hemiplegia, which affects one side of the body. The word has two parts: hemi, meaning "half," and plegia, connoting stroke or paralysis. I have had a "half stroke," but I prefer the romance of my high-school Greek teacher's transla­ tion: I was, as he put it, struck on one side. Plus, it's a more accurate description of what happened to me. At birth, the forceps used to pull me out of the womb pierced my baby-soft skull and damaged my cerebral motor cortex. On my left temple is a tiny scar left by the forceps and shaped, rather unfortunately, I've always thought, like an upside-down cross-the anti-Christ symbol

Struck on One Side
Struck on One Side

The Atlantic Monthly, March 2023, by Emil Sands

My memory of the moment, almost a decade ago, is indelible: the sight of a swimmer’s back, both sides equal—each as good and righteous as the other. An ordinary thing, and something I had never had, and still don’t have. To think of that moment is to feel torn—once again—about how I should respond to my condition: whether to own it, which would be the brave response, as well as the proper one, in many people’s eyes; or to regret it, even try to conceal it, which is my natural response.
