Until a few days ago the Kate MacGarry gallery in London was exhibiting works by the artist Laura Gannon:
New painted works on linen occupy the main space of the gallery. These works feature punctures, apertures and interwoven elements painted in bold, simple inks and acrylic. They oscillate between sculpture and painting. Gannon has stated, “there is an element of what I term psychological data embedded in the work”. Thought and time are implicated through each mark, and each shadow, through reduction and repetition Gannon imbues these sculptural paintings with fragility and sensuality. Gannon’s films mark a parallel to her works on linen with their articulation of temporality, light, space and the act of looking and feeling.
One of those paintings can be seen on the right:
