Jack Laver
Cut From The Shadows
22/02 - 31/03/2023
Exploring the transformative nature of subliminal imagery, experimenting with pigments, material and insubstantial quality of light, Jack Laver presents a new body of works where sensitivities of chiaroscuros capitulate with materiality, and the will to create. Radiating deep-time and transformation, Laver's works are the site of congealing agency — where a single undulation in a line of ink and pigments relies on all others in the arrangement to find its position. Networks of material passage and bleeding thresholds cling together on each surface. The abstract assemblages of the work dispute impoverished geometries that shape our engagement with the world, and draw us towards notions of entanglement, where shadows cut out the shape of verity.
