About

Tail of Two Robin von Einsiedel / Malgorzata Bany 28th July- 31st July 2010 Private View Wednesday 28th July 2010 6pm-10pm Tank Gallery presents two exciting young artists with a sense of urgency in their step. Both have recently graduated from Falmouth College of Art, the Cornwall coastline and landscape are clearly a source for the form and texture of their work. Robin von Einsiedel's b.1988, paintings have moved a long way from their primary image. Intuitively von Einsiedel reforms the observed terrain using heavy black lines which twist and string apart their original structure. They are vast and spatial, with aspects of formalism and colour-field painting echoing throughout the works. The effect is a fragmentation of landscape, a single line to tell a story, to see glimpses of life through a different eye. Malgorzata Bany b.1987, lives and works in Poland and the UK. The young artists drawings of everyday life transcend the mundane preconception one has with still lives and drawing from nature. Reality meets imagination; mixed media drawings combine with photographic images where the meeting of the land and sea create powerful contrasts. Vivid bold lines of black and thick brush strokes juxtapose the soft and delicate colour pencil marks that divide the paper into these charming and full of life compositions.
