Returning to 180 Studios with Selah, Gabriel Moses presents his biggest exhibition to date — over seventy photographs and ten films that span his work across fashion, music, and sport, including an exclusive new series of photographs and the premiere of his new short film, The Last Hour. The narrative moves like a quiet storm: from the rich cinematic tones of Fein by Travis Scott and Playboi Carti to intimate portraits of Alek Wek, Skepta, and Jude Bellingham, or his countless tributes to the women in his life, Moses reminds us that the emotional weight of an image doesn’t come from how loud it is but how deeply it listens.
Curated by Katja Horvat with spatial design by Emilia Margulies and graphic identity by Jayda Deans, Selah traces back the work of a storyteller that has managed to convey history, culture, tradition and modernity in his visual language. New works created specifically for the show sit alongside images drawn from his prolific career that includes collaborations with Louis Vuitton, Dior, Burberry, and Nike. Despite them being commercial works, they still feel personal, one of Moses's biggest attributes: being able to create for other names without compromising either his values or his style. Like Regina, his 2024 monograph, Selah, functions as an offering, where the images seen on paper or screens materialise and gain new life in front of us.
At the core of the exhibition is The Last Hour, a new short film commissioned by 180 Studios, produced by Division and Goat and shot in Atlanta, following a lone figure seeking redemption through solitude. There’s no urgency here — just grace in the stillness. The film, like much of Moses’ work, reads as a meditation on memory, legacy and motives, threaded through the lens of his ever-present British-Nigerian heritage. His visual language remains unmistakable: rich in colour, minimal in context, and emotionally exacting.
Whether through a shadow, a silence, or a frame held just long enough, his work leaves room for the viewer to breathe, and until July 27th at 180 Studios in London, you'll be able to not only see it with your own eyes but also feel it with your own heart.
