Whishaw’s work deals with explorations of memory and experience. Often on the edge of representation, varying in intent, scale and depiction, it seeks to reconcile illusion and allusion, teetering between abstract and figurative, and past and present pictorial languages to create unexpected visual experiences. This striking interpretation of the iconic view across Jerusalem to the most sacred Muslim site, the Dome of the Rock is a more directly understandable work, creating an instantly recognisable image.
