Line Gulsett: Rapid Repulsion
Rapid Repulsion, is Line Gulsett's second solo-exhibition at Torch Gallery. The exhibition will feature a selection of recent large and small scale canvasses in addition to drawings with oil pastel on black paper.
A rapid, pulsating stream of images without notable substance passes before our eyes. It offers momentary comfort, a distraction at least, but becomes unsettling once the separate images are revisited via our memory. Small but significant imprints are continuously added to the fluid neural network of processes that define our memory. Together they can create a repulsive shallowness experienced as a homogeneous mass of virtual impressions. Weightless representations of matter float in a virtual realm without a beginning or an end. They lack a past, present or future tense. The digitized world can be seen as an off-putting chaos of nearly identical identities behaving like Brownian particles in an almost limitless space. Rapid Repulsion, the title of Line Gulsett's upcoming exhibition at TORCH gallery, describes a contemporary environment that seems especially hostile to those who aim to create a more lasting impression with paint on a canvas.
