Cedric Christie: ROPE (extended)

About

Herrick Gallery is proud to present new work by internationally acclaimed British artist Cedric Christie. Christie is best known for his playful inquiry into the theoretical line between object and art through the transformation of existing forms such as scaffolding or snooker balls. For this first solo show of drawings Christie has focused on a repeated yet variable single action on paper with breathtaking results… hold your breath don't blow not even a whisper until the dust settles Christie's new series of chalk dust drawings capture a split second moment of concentration, energy, engineering and material fragility. The compelling use of these dynamic, minimalist, chalk coated rope and thread lines follow his recent solo exhibition at Flowers, When Painting Collapses, You Have Beautiful Sculptures, for which Christie gridded the gallery walls with red chalk. Cedric Christie lives and works in London.
