Pangolin London are delighted to present a major public exhibition of Jon Buck’s work on the mezzanine level at Kings Place. Inspired by the contemporary scientific narrative of Evolution, Buck explores our shared history of life with bold, cellular patterns and cryptic symbols that enliven the surfaces of his new series of wall reliefs, bronze sculptures, prints and drawings offering a powerful metaphor for the precious diversity and fragility of life on Earth.
