Leeds Summer Group Show 2020 

MARY YACOOB

Mary Yacoob is an artist based in London who studied at Central Saint Martins and Cass School of FineArt, London Metropolitan University. Her work encompasses pen and ink on paper, printmaking, wall drawings, and vinyl floor works. She appropriates visual languages from architectural plans, maps, geological and engineering diagrams, alphabets and musical notation. Of interest to the artist is how enlarging a diagram, drawing it and taking it out of context can create visual connections, transforming a functional aid into something mysterious, architectural, spatial or monumental. The hand-made gesture, intricacy, repetition, rhythm, and systems employing order and chance, are all key aspects of her work. Solo exhibitions include the Five Years Gallery, The Hospital Club, The Centre for Recent Drawing and Seven Seven Gallery. Group shows include Platform A, The Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, Gallery46, &Model, Payne Shurvell, Guest Projects, Saturation Point, Dark Matter, Galerie8 and OVADA.
