Carl Kostyál is delighted to present the debut solo exhibiton of Kyler Garrison in London, ‘hold my hand while i google symptoms’.
The act of googling symptoms is a reaction of an anxious impulse, grasping for a sense of control. This act is violent, pure, and inherently self sabotaging, offering no real solutions except for the hope of peace of mind and comfort, but it almost always makes things more worrisome. The intention of these paintings thus far has been to highlight this poignant process and never-ending cycle of the search for comfort, stability, and new experiences in a worrisome and ever-changing world.
