Travis Fish X Ricardo Passaporte
Off LeashOMNI is proud to present Off Leash, a dynamic and playful exhibition featuring two notable international talents. Portuguese artist Ricardo Passaporte and American painter Travis Fish come together to showcase an exclusive series of works, each on the heels of their own international recognition.

Passaporte's work includes new monochromatic large-scale paintings, all created in the last twelve months. Working from source imagery including his own photographs, animals are a reoccurring theme in his work. Often anthropomorphised with humorous composition, Passaporte has referred to these pieces as “naive figurative”.

Fish's series, titled “Bong Paintings”, is a collection of works created in London at PLOP, a residency recently established in East London by artist Oli Epp. Inspired by the abscence of smoking means on his travels, Fish presents everyday objects such as tennis rackets, fishbowls, and T-shirts transformed into bongs with a simple mouthpiece and pipe. OMNI will exhibit eight pieces from the series, accompanied by 40 studies on paper.
