Gloam Gallery, 160 Arundel Street, Sheffield, S1 4RE
Curated by Stu Burke
Metal resists, pigments bleed and acids react. Through interacting with these materials, a body of work emerges. Constructing the Surface moves between two- and three-dimensions, translating forms across drawing, print and sculpture. Mutations and evolutions happen as subjects shift across dimensions.
Constructing the Surface follows on Slip Across These Planes presented at Hyde Park Art Club, Leeds to bring together a curated group of work produced over the last two years. The exhibition centres around a new large scale drawing made in response to the gallery architecture. The works allow materials to interact and worlds to be constructed. Through working with a variety of materials and processes, the exhibition explores formal sculptural questions around flatness, surface and scale.
