Press Release

Chris Riddell’s Lavender, on the lower level, is a group of punchy abstract drawings and paintings that hint and tease at underlying shapes and figurative explorations. Often bright and cheerfully colored, the emphasis is on the line and its unbridled movement and aggressive drawing. Representational elements battle with a tendency to double down on the possibilities that comes with harsh juxtaposition of color. These works are viscerally charged, and subconsciously sourced.
