Pippy Houldsworth Gallery is delighted to announce that Shaqúelle Whyte has been selected as one of two winners for the Contemporary Art Society's Collections Fund at Frieze London 2025, with In an embroiled fashion (2025) being acquired for the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool. With 2027 marking the Walker’s 150th Anniversary, these acquisitions have been made to feature as centrepieces of their celebrations, as well as becoming part of the museum's contemporary collection.
Whyte’s In an embroiled fashion (2025) presents a moment of conflict between two men grappling in either a playful wrestle or a heated fight. Whyte’s compositions are often ambiguous, presented in media res or in swirling motion. He creates charged emotional instants that draw the viewer in for clues, the expression of his varied brushwork lending narrative and atmosphere. In an embroiled fashion (2025) is part of a larger body of work which is on view during Frieze London in Winter Remembers April, Whyte’s second solo exhibition at Pippy Houldsworth Gallery.
Whyte's painting is on view at Frieze London with Pippy Houldsworth Gallery, Booth A21.
