Kaleidoscope: Re-Shuffle
Patrick Heide Contemporary Art is pleased to present kaleidoscope: re-shuffle, a sequel and remix of the 2012 group show 鈥渒aleidoscope鈥�. The 2014 reinterpretation brings together the works of Sarah Bridgland, Pius Fox, Francesco Pessina, Dillwyn Smith and Johannes von Stumm.
As in the original layout, all five artists work with collage, assemblage as well as creation and deconstruction of space and surface. kaleidoscope: re-shuffle however extends its scope beyond the predominantly formal approach of the original concept. One new aspect is interaction. Another, more universal aspect, presents art as a microcosm that mirrors and contains grander, multifaceted themes; issues of spatial perception and composition, of nature and its energy sources, of our social makeup and increasingly fragmented world.
The RCA graduate, Sarah Bridgland (b.1982, Cambridge) builds two and three-dimensional sculptures from self constructed geometrical shapes and drawn structures. Methods of deconstructive and digital architecture are fused with carefully orchestrated chance elements of mixed media installations to result in partly structured, partly decomposed mini-mindscapes of our disjointed universe.
Pius Fox鈥� works arise from the contrasts of form and context, of imagination and figuration, and of structure and tonality. Inspired from reduced and deconstructed views of interiors, Fox鈥� mostly abstract images depict deep spatial expressions created by the superimposition and subsequent removal of layers of paint. The Berlin painter always plays with opacity and transparency, alluding to the obscureness and subjectivity of our immediate surroundings.
