The first solo show in London for over twelve years of British born artist, Vicken Parsons.
Parsons makes small, intimate paintings of landscape and architectural spaces which move from figuration to abstraction with quiet ease. Made with thin layers of oil paint on thick plywood panel, the works have a three-dimensional, object-like quality. Often grey or monochrome, the paintings are sometimes hit with a flash of colour, of cornflower blue, bright white or electric yellow which almost seems to fluoresce. At times, however, they simply retreat into deep, dark corners.
The show consists of around twenty new works and is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue with introduction by leading psychoanalyst and writer Darian Leader.
