Press Release

Jack O’Brien (b.1993, London, UK), a London-based artist who works across sculpture, drawing, and painting, is the 2023 recipient of Camden Art Centre’s Emerging Artist Prize at Frieze. For his first institutional solo exhibition in the UK, he will present a major new sculptural commission, produced in response to the unique architecture of the galleries. O’Brien’s practice combines industrial, fashion-design and architectural techniques to consider the production of desire, histories of consumption, and the ruptures and infiltrations that ripple through public spaces. Supported by donors to the Camden Art Centre Emerging Artist Prize at Frieze.
