Kane Wigham

See examples of Kane's graphic design and illustration work here:

Kane Wigham invites you into ‘The Midas Complex’. The story of King Midas teaches us the price of having a golden touch. For Midas, it was turning his daughter into gold when he embraced her. This exhibition of social commentary dissects and investigates excessive wealth and the economic inequalities that arise from it. 

Communicated through bold digital illustrations, Wigham’s body of work dissects the class divide with satirical, yet thought-provoking, portraits in his trademark illustrative style. Juxtaposing playfulness and assertion, Wigham has utilised everyday objects as vessels for metaphoric statements. It is Wigham’s interest in human nature, combined with striking visuals, that comments on the flaws of a capitalist society.

As Designer-in-Residence, Wigham has used the residency to expand his portfolio of digital media. Providing a critical insight into class inequalities, Wigham shares his outlook from the perspective of a working class artist and designer, exposing these imbalances to the viewer. 

Exhibition runs until 19th July - by appointment only.
