We are pleased to present Nadav Kander: After dark, a solo exhibition bringing together three bodies of work by renowned London-based photographer, artist, and director, Nadav Kander.
Widely recognised for his portraiture and large-format landscapes, Nadav Kander presents both familiar pieces and unseen works from his series Dark line – The Thames estuary and Colour Fields, alongside two photographic etchings from a new body of work titled Treow (trust and promise), shown here for the first time.
Kander’s distinctive approach blurs the boundaries between documentation and introspection, engaging with photography as both an exploration of the world around us and a map to inner landscapes. It invites viewers to pause in the space between what is felt and what is seen.
In Dark line – The Thames estuary, Kander turns his lens to the slow-moving, dark waters of the Thames as it meets the sea. Drawn to this landscape for its vast horizons and layered histories, he treats the river as a metaphor for perpetual cycles of ending and renewal.
For Kander, the series becomes more than just photographs – they reflect the weight of London’s past, its waters bearing witness to countless generations who have voyaged, fought, traded, loved, lived, and died on its banks. As the Thames reaches the estuary, it widens, softens, and slows, almost exhausted by the weight of London’s history it has carried. Travelling alone in the dark and returning at nightfall, he renders the estuary not only as a geographical site but as a mystical, otherworldly realm.
“When alone, there is nowhere I’d rather be than beside large bodies of slow-moving water. I feel myself, quiet and alive as emotions come and go”, says Kander.
