WINSTON ROETH / JONATHAN OWEN 1 April - 14 May 2011   Opens Today, 31 March  6 - 8pm Winston Roeth - Edinburgh Totem 2009 (detail) / Jonathan Owen - Untitled 2011 Gallery I WINSTON ROETH is based in Beacon, New York State, and has been described as "probably the best colour painter in New York" by American critic Michael Brennan.  At first glance his work appears very simple: thin, exquisitely layered, skeins of tempera on roof slates, building into velvet pigments that shift in the changing light. These colour combinations play gentle tricks on the eye - simultaneously drawing us into dense voids and then bouncing our gaze back with a vibrant intensity.  Roeth's compositions are distilled to this apparent simplicity through the most minimal ingredients. Sometimes the slates are arranged as shimmering totems.  In other works they are divided into grids, a geometric harmony of lines and colours, so that the matt expanse of paint is broken up by luminous lines in a perfect balance of light, depth and colour.  In a world so accustomed to instant gratification Roeth's paintings require and reward an unusual level of contemplation.    Winston Roeth, Easy Lover 2010 / Installation view Gallery I, Ingleby Gallery Gallery II JONATHAN OWEN is based in Scotland and graduated from Edinburgh College of Art in 2000. There is a sort of elegant vandalism intrinsic in Owen's works on paper and in his small carved sculptures. By reducing his subjects he delicately examines the essential qualities of an object or image, transforming their meaning and presenting the viewer with the curiously unexpected. In this exhibition there will be a series of "drawings", photographs found in books of civic sculptures that have been gently erased, leaving a ghostly trace. A group of sculptures work in a similar way. Small found wooden figures are intricately carved to create a disjointed and reduced version of the original character, presenting an unsolvable yet innately intriguing puzzle.  This is his first show at Ingleby Gallery.  Jonathan Owen - Untitled 2011 / partially erased book page / 22 x 29 com INGLEBY EVENTS FILM CLUB Saturday 7 May, 2pm Apocalpse Now (15) Directed by Francis Ford Coppola (1979 / 2001, US) 202 mins as chosen by Winston Roeth Saturday 14 May, 2pm Saturday 14 May, 2pm Billy Liar (PG) Directed by John Schlesinger (1963, UK) 98 mins as chosen by Jonathan Owen Film Club is free; to book a place please email film@inglebygallery.com

STRANGE LOOPS exhibition, Generator Projects Dundee

26 MARCH - 24 APRIL

PREVIEW FRIDAY 25 MARCH 7-9PM*

 

GENERATORprojects presents Strange Loops, an exhibition curated by Craig Mulholland. In oblique reference to Douglas Hofstadter's theory of 'tangled hierarchies',  Strange Loops will seek to create a platform for the study of irresolute hierarchical distinctions, where the artists/designers have each been invited to create a series of works following a particularly rigorous production directive. The use of a recursive curatorial method is intended to heighten the effects of regressive and self referential processes often used by these practitioners, with the potential of generating some unpredictable formal and contextual distortions.

 

* PREVIEW FRI 25 MARCH 7-9PM. GENERATORprojects will be providing a bargain bus service from Glasgow for £3 return. Details are as follow;

PICK UP:  5PM RENFIELD STREET (OPPOSITE MACKINTOSH BUILDING)
