Amy Wiggin is a British multidisciplinary artist currently living and working in London. In her artistic practice she delves into contemporary concepts of femininity and partnership. Through prints and paintings, often infused with explicit and romantic themes, she challenges traditional gender narratives, using humor and bold characters to engage viewers in a collaborative reflection on modern relationships and gender roles.
'This piece is inspired by a conversation with a close friend; Living as a gay man in London he still meets men who are fleeing countries where their sexuality is forbidden. The piece illustrates two figures in a loving romantic embrace, yet the title hints at the stigma that they are still subjected to.'
