Opening Reception: Thursday 4th June, 6-8pm

Sid Motion Gallery and artist Rose Davey are pleased to present their second collaborative exhibition ‘This and That’.

Building on their previous enquiry into repetition, ‘This and That’ proposes that nothing stands alone - every object, colour and idea is understood in relation to another.

The exhibition centres around a table made by Gary Woodley, painted by Rose Davey, with stools by Francesca Anfossi. A collaboration between three artists, the table only makes sense when a person sits at it. This logic of legibility through activation is echoed throughout the works in the exhibition. All rely on the presence of something else for the overall artwork to come into being. Alan Charlton’s diptych demonstrates the impact of the combined painted and unpainted canvas, while Rose Davey’s paintings investigate the effect of one colour upon another. The works by Gabriele Beveridge, Jane Bustin and Iain Hales further demonstrate how meaning emerges from the contrasts, spaces and relationships between forms.
