EXHIBITION: 4 - 28th August 2021
New work by Christchurch based painter ROBIN NEATE. Many of Neate’s titles betray an easy-going sense of humour and this sense of the approachable is extended to the scale of the paintings, their expansion into series and their simple manipulation of surface, colour and form. Comprehensible compositions measure small spaces comfortably then demonstrate stability, imbalance, listing and collapse. Colours attempt to capture what has been seen in a glance, the transitory or remembered. Gentleness is painted with pastels, imperfect layers build up until they become brief indications of a certain dawn, an open window, a wintry sky, a maze of streets, a dizzying landscape.
There is an intimacy and quietude as one is called to bear witness to earnest acts of abstraction.
