Gavin Tremlett : Hybris

26 Feb-2 Apr 2016

Overview

In this exhibition Tremlett has created a series of oil, graphite & charcoal pieces on canvas or paper. Continuing on from his earlier series’ ‘Amusement’ and ‘Practice’, Tremlett continues to use the portrait in order to investigate deeper lying drives. He marries impeccable figuration with material abstraction, therefore combining intention and chance to create form that simultaneously appears from and recedes into the picture plane. It is clear that Tremlett is operating beyond portraiture and deploys his subjects to challenge his audience.
