In Line
Abstract works composed of sequences of seemingly similar repetitive lines, visible either as marks, voids or structural components aggregated in grids or networks evoke deliberation of patterns of recognition, regularity and order, likeness and recurrence.
In her publication, The Infinite Line, Briony Fer notes that repetition is fundamentally a fragmentary condition of perception commanding attention through reiteration and it is through apparent similarity that nuanced differences are exacerbated. She posits that variation inevitably occurs when repetition is generated.
For this exhibition, In Line, I have selected artists whose practices can be categorised as abstract and who tend to organise a variety of pictorial or sculptural elements schematically ‘in line’. Although the modes and intentions of these artists are disparate the works, when placed in proximity, manifest the capacity for diversity, inventiveness and individual expression within linear compositions.
