“It’s the surprise of beauty, where you wouldn’t expect it,” says artist @kingsley_ifill (with a nod to Jean-Paul Sartre), explaining his latest exhibition and accompanying film, Bouquet. ⠀
⠀
The paintings — which are on display at Dalston’s LNCC until Dec 21st — mine deep into his family tree, a series of faces from his background refracted through memory. ⠀

“My grandad Tony was once the British Borstal featherweight boxing champion,” he explains. “He won 110 amateur fights, lost zilch, then just before he was about to turn professional, he fell off of a ladder whilst painting the third story of a house and had to have a metal plate put into his shin. His walls are rammed with photos and memorabilia, his head with just as many stories.” ⠀
⠀
As with Bouquet, Ifill’s work has a personal and intimate feel captured as emotively on film as it is on canvas. Shot by his friend and collaborator Jack Whitehead, the accompanying film captures the peaceful isolation of Ifill’s seaside town Herne Bay, and offers a sombre reflection on the artist’s family life and artistic process. ⠀

“Like everyone else, I'll be below the ground for a longer time than I'm walking on it,” he says. “I figured that was enough of a reason to invite Jack down to document where I'm currently living and working”.⠀
