Tobias Lehner : Gyration

7 Dec 2013-28 Feb 2014

Overview

Across UNION Gallery’s four walls Tobias Lehner’s latest series of paintings generate a sense of this impending collapse; his art imagines the precarious moment where this fracture may occur, the image is frozen and the outcome unknown. Each of Lehner’s works includes a central motif, a vortex, gyre or symbol of explosive potential; all are only seconds away from unleashing their catastrophic energies. If the motion cannot be maintained, or the acceleration increases the image will rupture.
