Haven't seen you lately

Responding to the coast and the architecture of Jendela gallery, Haven’t seen you lately is an exhibition about the influence of abstract painting in relation to walls and windows. Taking the gallery windows as a starting point, wall interventions, pictures, objects and improvised music engage with aspects of scale, form and colour, acting as counterpoints to the dualities of interiority and exteriority.

The title of the exhibition is a common expression that often alludes to memory and the passage of time. It arose from a dream where the artist found himself arriving at a gallery opening, greeted by visitors with this refrain. Drawing upon abstraction as a source, the artist considers and arrives at junctures of form through making, looking and waiting. 

Held in conjunction with the exhibition, join artist in the talk In Conversation with Ian Woo, where he will delve into the concept and process behind the exhibition and expound on the idea of abstract painting in relation to space.
