Raqib Shaw’s “Tales from an Urban Garden” comprises a series of works inspired by memories of his mother’s garden. Through the presentation, the artist gives viewers a peek at the space he has crafted near his home in South London—which recalls his mother’s garden in Kashmir, where he grew up—transporting viewers into the world of Shaw’s imagination. Featured are works like the abundantly colorful landscape A Summer of Sombre Stirrings in the Garden of Blissful Solitude, which appears to be straight out of a storybook, and a round composition depicting a figure tending a blooming tree on a cliff, with the city in the distance, titled High on Hope. Presented by Dries Van Noten and Jeffrey Deitch with the help of White Cube, the exhibition is set inside of The Little House on La Cienega Boulevard, where it will remain on view through March 26.
