BOO SAVILLE : POLYCEPHALY

17 Oct-15 Nov 2014

Overview

TJ Boulting is delighted to invite you to the forthcoming solo show of British artist Boo Saville. The title of the show 'Polycephaly' refers to a condition derived from the Greek words for 'many headed,' which in turn refers to Saville's current practice. For several years she has perhaps been better known for her intense monochrome biro drawings of subject matter that explores existence, archaeology, myth, philosophy and science. For her previous solo show two years ago she began to develop her ideas within a seemingly opposite medium, that of abstract colour fields. This show for the first time combines her two working mediums, that of the monochrome figurative and that of the colour abstract, and explores what unites the two visually disparate sides of her practice as belonging to one artist.
