Follow the Line
Paintings by Maria Owens & Mono Types by Susanne Khouri
Wednesday 26th June – Saturday 13th July
Opening Event – Saturday 29th June 3-5pm
Both of these abstract artists approach colour and shape with energy and confidence. Susanne Khouri explores colour blocking and the relationship between overlapping, overlayed colour and the texture this process achieves. Geometric shapes rest in the foreground of her work, some suggesting depth, a space existing beyond the surface, others act as guardians asking us to push into the surface of the work for entry.
While Maria Owens takes the energy inherent in the action of painting a line and she amplifies the movement. Her frenetic gestural mark making is also overlapped and overlayed but has a very different outcome. We are caught up in the energy of her day, the outpouring of the captured moment in time.
Follow the Line is a show which celebrates a fearless approach to the printed and painted line.
