Doubles
Christopher Le Brun’s current body of work develops a longstanding interest in the ‘double’- conceptual and embodied duality. The arresting diptychs and single paintings provide a direct continuation of his recent series of prints, Composer (2017) which explores the musical form of distinct yet related movements and the essentially layered structure of both painting and music. Working directly on the woodcut proofs, these new oil paintings extend Le Brun’s lifelong preoccupation with colour –‘ experiencing rather than seeing’ as he describes it, ‘a property of the world we delight in for itself’ – and represent radical experiments in the juxtaposition of colour, tone transparency and form. Features an essay exploring dualities across a number of disciplines, by exhibition curator Anna Dempster.

Escoural-O-Novo
Susan Kooi
Escoural-O-Novo is the third book of the Lonely Planet triptych, in which Dutch artist Susan Kooi travels to Italy, Portugal, and Japan to work with various traditions and artists in the world of ceramic crafts. This last part of the triptych in which Kooi recontextualises and poetically reconstructs ceramic artefacts, explores the material as a time machine. This publication also functions as an alternative travel book for the Montomor-O-Novo region in Portugal, which has a long tradition in ceramics. After having worked with terra-cotta in Italy and with porcelain in Japan, Kooi’s focus here is on the glazing process. In a kind of symbolic circle, Kooi got to glaze some terracotta works made in Italy, and make a series of new works based on what she encountered around the region. The contributions of Ana Joao Almeida, Sira Camacho, Susan Kooi, Lot Meijers and Anni Puolakka tell the background stories of these ceramics.
