5th - 27th February 2005
Opening: Sat 5th Feb 6-9pm
Small private worlds, pocket universes, ‘little
Regions in which to wander ’ (Lesley Greening Lassoff)
A world of overdrive and overload, generating both pleasure
and anxiety (Sandra Beccarelli)
Obsession and intensity, an engagement with the everyday, run
through the drawings by both these artists.
Sandra Beccarelli uses contemporary and recycled materials threaded
with wire to create pulsing light boxes, collecting and ordering
things that to others might seem useless and disposable. Made
at the same time, the drawings in this show are an extreme process
of documentation and extension : “An intricate mass of
hypnotic patterns and rhythms, mapping out urban, human and
biological energies with marks, stitches and colours.”
Lesley Greening Lassoff uses the domestic and commonplace as
metaphors for ambiguity and underlying anxieties-familiar things
that elude definition. Simultaneously beautiful and awkward,
the aesthetic qualities of paint, colour and composition invite
and intrigue, whilst the tenuously figurative subject matter
hints at other, possibly more discomforting uncertainties.
Distinctly different, these two bodies
of work place us as viewers, between the aesthetics of Zen and
High Catholicism, yet it is a gorgeous, haunting, but secular
spiritual symbolism that emanates from both, and makes them
somehow utterly complimentary.
