on Surface | Perspectives on Painting

PRESS RELEASE

 

on Surface showcases the work of a group of emerging contemporary artists who share certain affinities and approaches – Anna Brass, David Cooper, Laurence Grave and Henry Ward – together with works from Messums’ artist and selector of the exhibition, Tom Robinson.

While the individual practices of these artists are diverse, they are unified in their dynamic approach to materials, processes and imagery. Robinson references this commonality as a force best described as ‘charge’.
