Waterloo Gallery is proud to present ‘my shadow sits and waits for me’, marking the return of artist Cos Ahmet with his new solo exhibition, exploring and confronting the language of the ‘shadow’. Cos Ahmet crossed paths with his shadow through issues surrounding a recent development of rejection being a direct result of his sexuality conflicting with his cultural background. With this discovery and acknowledgement of his dark side, and armed with this new manifesto, Cos Ahmet continued his ongoing research and personal journey of identity and sexuality, creating new works that capture the dark side, and drawing upon earlier works that now appear to shout out his shadow – his ‘inseparable and constant companion’. ‘my shadow sits and waits for me’ brings together a broad range of new and existing works in response to the language of the shadow, ranging from paintings, etchings and drawings, including sculptural elements, revealing many shadows that hope to awaken the dark side within others.
