Launched to coincide with London Fashion Week, Ram Shergill will be taking over The White Box at Nobu Hotel London Portman Square from 15th February to 28th March 2023. This exhibition explores the notion of ‘becoming’ through a collection of visuals as seen through the lens of Ram Shergill’s photography.

Using the lens as a tool to explore the study of philosophical and scientific aspects of the conscious and unconscious, Shergill’s works are a combination of unique multispecies phenomena, which when placed together become an image. The constructed series of images experiment with colour, light refractions, dramatic use of adornment, relationships between human and animal life as well as working with nature and the environment to create an extraordinary composition. According to Shergill, the subject is never considered as a singular being, maintaining that the subject is in a continuous state of ‘becoming’ – the preconceived body, culture and identity is then fashioned and enhanced through Shergill’s creative eye.

An interdisciplinary artist specialising in photography, creative direction and bio-integrated design, Shergill is internationally recognised for his contribution to the fashion industry, advancing his practice through science and wearable technology. On displaying his work in The White Box, Shergill comments: “I feel that my work is strongly aligned with the style and aesthetic of Nobu Hotel London Portman Square, as I feel it is always a phenomenal experience at Nobu. Working with the hotel and showing at The White Box Space Gallery, enables my artwork to be a part of that unique experience, I look forward to showing my works over London Fashion Week 2023”

The White Box is located directly in front of Nobu Hotel London Portman Square’s lobby and is the first of its kind in the Nobu Hotels’ collection. The space serves as a blank canvas for art exhibits, a space to celebrate special moments or those looking to create an intimate event.
