'A' An exhibition by Steve More & Remi/Rough
You have exactly one week to clear your diaries for the first show of the year from some of our number. 'A' An exhibition by Steve More & Remi/Rough opens at the Blackall Studios on 1st February...expect abstraction.....future pespectives....and blown minds.... ‘A’ is a dedication to the abstract, ‘A’ invites you to search inside the visions of these two artists who far from being antagonistic seem to be complimentary and inseparable. ‘A’ is a choice, experimenting with the limited space of canvas. ‘A’ is something that comes to life spontaneously through contrast, is plastic at the same time as psychic and pervades both the picture and the eye of the spectator with conceptions of new and unfamiliar elements. ‘A’ is the joy of mistakes.
