About

For Simon Le Ruez’s third solo exhibition at Vane the artist presents a new body of work made specifically for the gallery space. With an ever progressing, colour charged and playful oeuvre ‘The other side of you and me’ continues to explore themes Le Ruez has immersed himself in over recent years, that of materiality, territory, transparency and forms of opposition.

His new work, which incorporates and combines materials such as coloured plexiglass, translucent papers, copper and unfired clay, revel in their spirited aesthetic transgressions. While making remains at the core of things, deconstruction and a sense of the unmade now share an equal stage.

Drawings transcend themselves and become sculptures, but in a way whereby the transition may not be a permanent one and all may be given to change. Elsewhere, refined linear structures play host to loosely made plans and feisty propositions. What resides and is imbued in the work is a sense of the other, of turning things inside out and then perhaps, back again.
