By the water I live

In its first Artsy.net online exclusive exhibition, Cambridge-based David Lolly Gallery presents the work of British abstract artist Gina Parr and photographer Ian Hoskin.

'By the water I live' brings together the work of Gina Parr and Ian Hoskin – a couple working in wholly different mediums but creating work with striking similarities. Exploring people, space and place, the exhibition examines the relationship between the British coast and the people that inhabit it.

The curation depicts a narrative-driven stream riffing off the four seasons in a winter-centric haze, beginning with 'Morning dew' – five artworks that evoke childhood remembering’s of cloudy autumnal walks. We then drift to the water’s edge where striking works such as Parr’s 'A series of giant steps' (2018) and Hoskin’s 'North Sea from Amble' (circa 1980) have us treading frosty English pastures.

Come night, we’re left strolling through the dusk; Hoskin's 'Ringo' (2018) – from his applauded 'Dogs and Their Owners series' – alongside Parr's 'Fear of falling' (2014) is a triumphant end to the story.

By the water I live runs from 20 August – 30 September 2018 exclusively at Artsy.net.
