Linear Construction “explores abstraction, rhythm and repetition” with exhibiting artists including Amy Cusing and Lara Sparey, Andrew Graves, Emma Witter, Frea Buckler, Gillian Garnica, Gina Cross, Hannah Ludnow, Ines Fernandez de Cordova, Julian Brown, Katie Mawson, Liaqat Rasul, Lizzi Mann, Richard Perry, Sophie Smallhorn, and Vera Boele-Keimer.
is needed now More than ever
Anna Smithson of Smithson Projects said: “The show brings together British contemporary abstract artists, working across a variety of visual mediums, to present a curatorial meditation on artwork as an iterative process of linear construction.
“This collective articulation is as much about the linear elements, as it is the application of materials, the use of colour, and the sculptural elements of construction.
“Colour, form, and abstraction lie at the heart of her aesthetic interests, and this show brings into conversation a range of artists who centre these concerns in bold, playful, and experimental ways, whilst embracing an enduring commitment to their material processes.”
