About

The two bodies of work are ostensibly different: Dormandy uses a traditional oil-painting technique in works that are often austere in their compositions and colour schemes; Eleison makes screen-based digital paintings, and in a wide range of styles that tend to be colourful and painterly. But the clear differences between these two artists are ultimately somewhat reductive, if not misleading; they distract from the works’ more intricate and unexpected interactions, which form the heart of this exhibition.
