Leviathan — Ames Yavuz

“Leviathan” placed Frank Walter’s work alongside an intergenerational, international group of artists, including Monira Al Qadiri, Ali Banisadr, and Chioma Ebinama, curated by Anaïs Lellouche for Ames Yavuz. The exhibition used water as a unifying, transformative medium, exploring the Leviathan as a mythical force and catalyst for artistic imagination, art’s response to the climate crisis, and the experience of sea journeys and migration, drawing on texts by Thomas Hobbes, Victor Hugo, and Arthur Rimbaud alongside the artists’ work.

Exhibition photography for the show was produced in support of this presentation, documenting Walter’s paintings within a broader contemporary and international curatorial context beyond the Caribbean and European exhibitions that have typically framed his legacy.
