DUO SHOW : COPPER BEECH
An exhibition featuring abstract artists Gina Cross and Christine Wilkinson
4 September to 2 October
Meet the Artists: 22 September 2024
This collaborative show ‘Duo’ highlights the distinct but complementary styles of two abstract artists, showcasing Gina Cross's colourful prints and original works on copper alongside Christine Wilkinson's refined, colourful abstractions.
‘Duo’ invites viewers to explore the interplay between colour, form, and texture, offering a unique visual conversation that reflects the two artists’ viewpoints.
Gina Cross is a London-based multidisciplinary artist whose work investigates the relationships between shape, colour, space and light. Her current artistic practice spans a diverse range of materials and methods, including metal, paper, photography, and digital processes. Gina describes her ongoing work as an effort to "join the dots," reflecting her continuous exploration and study of contemporary art history.
Christine Wilkinson’s practice utilises an iterative process where artworks lead and flow into each other. Colour is core to Christine’s work moving from the more subtle and serene to the vibrant and impactful. Her work blurs the boundaries between photography and painting. Light becomes form. Form without substance, existing only as an instance of colour and light.It begins with a photograph or a fragment of a photograph - car headlights maybe or sunlight streaming through a window. It’s a starting point, a process, reducing the image simply to random pixels to be used as raw material. Then it’s about finding the subject matter through the process, evoking a sensation rather than pinning down an image.
