Kedals: Chop Your Own Wood

Date: Thursday, Jun 6 2019 - Saturday, Jun 22 2019
Venue: THAT Art Gallery
Artists
Kedals

Solo exhibition for Bristol painter Kedals.

“Kedals’ paintings seem to unfold in front of you – the characters, colours and abstract symbols and patterns attempt to engage reflection on a much simpler past. Segments of recognisable icons merge with incomplete calligraphy, traditional sign writing, scribbles and drips.

“In a time when we’re continually bombarded with new forms of entertainment and media; these paintings are constructed with pop-cultural points of reference. But they are not merely retrospective – Kedals’ disrupted characters and use of ‘keywords’ are encouraging the viewer to reflect on life, question iconography and take stock of the present.

“Kedal’s paintings are about everyone’s today – when it’s crucial to recognise the value of memory whilst treasuring the moment.”

Opening Night Preview June 6, 6-9pm. Exhibition continues June 7-22, Tue-Sat 11am-6pm.
