(55 x 78 cm) Oculus presents Young Love, a new body of work by Ivar Wigan documenting two years spent living within the dancehall communities of Jamaica. Expanding on the artist’s long-standing relationship with the island, first encountered in his youth whilst living nomadically with his family, Young Love is both documentation and celebration of a culture Wigan holds in deep affection. His organic response to the idiosyncrasies of the island reflect a local spirit of youthful energy, sexual freedom and resourcefulness against adversity. Images shift effortlessly between the domestic, the jubilant and the bizarre, whilst the subtle beauty of daily life is juxtaposed with raucous party scenes and unflinching portraiture. Employing the familiarity of the point and shoot camera with the raw aesthetic of film, Wigan is able to encapsulate ways of life in a vibrant but commonly inaccessible community. Central to the work are the inhabitants that become the artist’s inner circle. Street kids, hustlers and party girls become collaborators, working with Wigan to create stark and intimate photographs that portray the island’s most colourful personalities on their own terms. The title Young Love suggests a universal experience defined by exploration, optimism, and life changing relationships. With this collection of photographs, Wigan moves beyond the seedy glamour and hedonism typically associated with the dancehall scene to locate the deep significance the lifestyle provides for those connected within it. His snapshots reveal moments of fragility and euphoria within gatherings of close friends and like-minded crowds. His contemplative still lifes provide small windows into the modest interior scenes and stunning natural beauty that provides a backdrop to this world and a context to the characters portrayed. Ivar Wigan’s commitment and sensitivity to the stories of his subjects delivers a rich tapestry of photographs that are simultaneously cinematic and spontaneous. Charged with humanity and passion, this series is a vital and enduring record of an isolated culture that is frequently misunderstood and might otherwise remain unseen.
