A Bit of Light Work: Nick Rawcliffe

7 Nov-22 Nov 2020

Overview

Nick Rawcliffe’s first London solo gallery show is a collection of sculptural lighting, installations and experimental furniture. The work explores contrasting boundaries and questions the brain’s interpretation of black and white, light and dark. Over the past decade Nick has explored optical illusion, science and astronomy in his work (even giving weight to the beliefs of the Flat Earth Society!), creating light sculptures that question the boundaries fabricated between art and product design. His work lives in the grey edges, experimenting with the manipulation of light, exploring textures. As we live and work in a period of enormous upheaval during a global pandemic, Nick asks, “If I am to continue working against the grain and doing things that others don’t, why not have a gallery show under the threat of a second lockdown? I think we all have to look for opportunities to create in and for our restructured world”. Bookable hour-long appointments are available via [email protected] to interact with the installation pieces see the work and collections, meet the artist and handle samples. This show includes previously unseen work.
