Still Life on Earth is now displaying, a new series by Myka Baum. These circular photographic works are a continuation of the artist’s interest in cycles of transformation, her ongoing aim to capture natural processes through abstraction. In her words:
Light plays an integral role within my work and there is an ambiguity between the precision of photographic apparatus and the structured randomness of the organic.
Wolfgang Tillmans specifically commented on Myka’s work when she was selected as a Bloomberg New Contemporary, saying of her Lunar Mare series: “It’s a very specific vision – it’s definitely something I have never seen before and it is an achievement.”
There’s also new work just on display by Sarah Chalmers. In subdued but intense palettes these Scottish landscapes bring the furor of autumn colours in flux to the foreground.
Janine Hall’s new work uses really wonderful mark-making. These abstract canvases layer colour, using the materiality of the paint to conjure an impression of intangible emanations in the artist’s pursuit of of the elusive: “The things that are constant, sometimes without me realising, are shadow and light often attached to fleeting moments and observations of the abstract in the world around me.”
