TWO EXHIBITIONS by GAVIN FERNANDES
'Empire Line' and 'Monarchs of the East End'
Gavin Fernandes was born in Kenya, grew up in India and now lives in London. He studied graphic arts at Middlesex University then at the Royal College of Art in London. His activities include photography, artistic direction and curating.
In ‘Empire Line’ Gavin explores the politics of clothing and its relationship with class and caste in 19th century India ruled by the British Raj. For ‘Monarchs of the East End’ the photographer, inspired by classic East End imagery, has created a series of characters which, although invented, are almost believable.
