The Grey Area

About

If the universe by its very definition is everything that exists anywhere then its complexity and richness would seem overwhelming as a starting point for any artist. In this exhibition ‘the grey area' signifies a problem of sorting this reality and rudimentary stuff, material and experience into clearly defined categories. It draws three London based artists who differ in method and ways of working intentionally conveying a physical sense of something seen or experienced, rather than representing it. Language does not attach itself to any of the works comfortably. Intervention simplified to create works devoid of content other than the shape and colour of canvas or material it is made of. However rather than determining an aesthetic, in ‘The Grey Area' artists strip away the literalness of everyday life, revealing mysteries contained in the most commonplace.
