4th-26th June 2005
Haika’s work process falls into two stages: the origin
or ‘excuse’, a seemingly random event, image,
or found object that sparks the process, and the subsequent
toil. The toil is the physical process of working with colour,
texture, and drawing, and frequently leads to a piece being
erased or torn up and reworked to produce a new one. The integral
nature of paper, mark and colour imply the history of the
surface, the submerged presence of ideas glimpsed and fragments
interred.
The results are like the vestiges of memory, hinting at shapes
seen, colours celebrated, or residual traces of things known.
There is an intuitive freedom of mark and edge, combined with
an almost architectural sense of form. Restrained composition
balanced by the fragility of the surface which disappears
completely at times, leaving the viewer to imagine what might
have been lost, or indeed, what might still be found.
Originally trained in Israel and then at Ravensbourne College
in Kent, Haika has exhibited in a number of London venues,
over the last twenty years, including the Royal Academy, the
Ben Uri Gallery and the Salon des Arts.
Exhibition runs until 26th June. Fri-Sun 12-6pm or call 020
8357 2924 for another time.
