Press Release
'The English translation of the Italian word ombra can mean shadow, shade or darkness. This exhibition showcases the work of nine artists, working in different media, who have in some way highlighted this particular quality. This may be in physical effect or in subject matter. We hope to highlight connections made, across a longer timeline, material investigations that relate to this word full of nuance and mystery.
The sculpture and site-specific installations by Kester and Moor respectively, demonstrate viscerally the substance of darkness and shadow whilst the paintings of Will Vetch, Roma and Rolph have a pictorial/psychological underpinning this is also evident in the photographic work of Katy Vetch.
Piper, Moore and Matisse’s pared down markings present the subject of form and its accompanying darkness or shadow in a considered, materially inventive, abstract way.'
