Slip Lead Exhibition, Stora Sunby Castle, Stockholm, 2021

Carl Kostyál proudly presents ‘Slip Lead’, Los Angeles-based artist Buck Ellison’s first solo exhibition with the gallery, generously hosted by Mauritz Klingspor at his home, the magnificent 16th century castle of Stora Sundby, on the banks of Lake Hjälmaren in Södermansland in Sweden.

For this exhibition, which features works from 2008 to the present, female lacrosse players, a sports jockey wearing a Vineyard Vines fleece in a variety of colours, improbably parked SUVs, fish and, most recently, in a new work made especially for Stora Sundby, a brilliantly detailed array of hunting paraphernalia, are the recipients of his unflinching and ironic sociological lens.
