Selected Works (2019), Installation View, Rubicon Ari, Images by Chris Bowes
The exhibition brings together a suite of paintings created over the last two years, which continue the artists’ exploration into materiality, process and ideologies of display.
The work follows a trajectory that merges instinctive markings with formulated systems, in which the application of paint shifts dramatically from scarce areas of bare canvas
to dense clusters of ordered patterns and haphazard gestures. The surface transforming from translucent washes to thick, textured dots and lines applied directly from the
tube; each behaving differently in their articulation of a performative action.
