Following Morgan Stokes’ previous exhibition with Curatorial+Co., 'Skin', which examined the outermost layer, 'Skeleton' ventures within. The show hums with a naked, elemental current. We find the works in a state of flux, between creation and destruction, openness and darkness, lightness and heaviness, fullness and emptiness. Balance, tone, space and, pertinently, form: the elements of painting have been amputated from one another to be scrutinised in a material dimension. This emphasis on form underscores the process of creation as each work highlights its own physicality. Thus, the show also become a meditative exploration of not only the creative act but also the medium of painting itself and what lies beneath its surface. That is to say, 'Skeleton' is an exploration of an unseen essentialness. Join us for the opening celebration on Wednesday 9 October, 5:30-8pm in our Woolloomooloo gallery.
