Rachal Bradley / Joanne Robertson – Fingerblades

Mostra doppia personale.

Comunicato stampa

The two artists have been friends for over 30 years ago, having met at school aged 11. For the first time they are showing their work together in this two-person show at Galerie Gregor Staiger, Milan. The artists each present a series of new paintings; taking very different approaches, these large-scale works seek to overwhelm the gallery space physically.

Robertson presents her on-going explorations into lyrical gestural abstraction, with swathes of paint and colour heaving on the surface that recall improvised poetry and form-finding. Bradley shows works on canvas that meditate on the relationship between image and the spatial dimensions of vision using screen printing and stencilling. For both artists this work offers a snapshot of years as artists, compatriots, benevolent competitors, and collaborators evolving through a lifetime of conversation and friendship. A text by artist Reba Maybury will accompany the exhibition.
