Works in pairs by our gallery artists
In this exhibition we present works in pairs – either formal diptychs or pieces which sit well together – by a selection of our gallery artists.
Showing artworks in pairs has a long tradition in the visual arts. It allows the foundational idea of the work to be multiplied and amplified. Sympathetic relationships form – in composition or mark-making or palette – which can often be so strong as to make separate works seem inseparable once seen together.
In stereo audio reproduction, the aural information is distributed across a left-right spectrum. We hear the sounds in distinct places in this spectrum, resulting in a more immersive experience. Relative to a mono recording, the music has greater depth and dimension.
In the same way, the works in the exhibition are richer and more enveloping for having a wider visual spectrum and field of interest.
The exhibiting artists are:
Eleanor Bartlett | William-Josh Beck | Day Bowman | Dina Bulavina | Harry Chrystall | Emma Cowley | Lawrence Dicks | Anthony Garratt | Jack Hilton | Felice Hodges | Louise Ørsted Jensen | Sarah Kirk | Beth Shapeero | Amanda Sumpter | Louis Vincent
