Jason Shulman is a multi-disciplinary artist based in London. Wax & Relax is his latest site-specific installation, curated by Ashley Saville.

Inhabiting a derelict East London beauty parlour, the piece is a recreation of Shulman’s seminal Candle Room. Comprised of a single candle burning in darkness the installation tricks the eye into perceiving light as a tangible form. It is presented here in a playful tribute to the former-salon’s name.

‘Shulman is a brilliant illusionist. A poacher of the imagination, he distorts and sticks a finger right through the rafters of your brain, without you realising it, without pomp, and with the accuracy and precision of a scientist.’ - Harriet Verney

Shulman’s Candle Room was shown at White Cube in an exhibition curated by Harland Miller. It has also been shown at the Garage Museum of Contemporary Art as part of the third Moscow Biennale, and at the Museum of Old and New Art in Tasmania.

Wax & Relax will be open daily by appointment from Saturday 1 November - Saturday 29 November, with a press preview on Friday 31 October.
