Huxley-Parlour announces Tracing Time, a new solo exhibition of paintings by Rebecca Salter PRA. Presenting works made over the last six years, Tracing Time is Salter’s first exhibition with the gallery and one of her first solo exhibitions since being appointed the first female President of the Royal Academy of Arts in 2019. The exhibition traces the artist’s preoccupation with line and materiality, which have been a continued territory of exploration throughout her career.
Presenting both small and large scale works, the exhibition showcases the breadth of Salter’s experimentalism with material. Her canvases are spread with paint; washed with ink; veiled in thin layers of muslin in an intuitive process in which the artist revels in the serendipity of the media. Each work is the product of a lengthy exchange between artist and material, some works taking months to complete. Salter begins every painting confronting a blank canvas, eschewing most preparatory work. For Salter, her role is not to invent a composition but to tease out something pre-existing, embodied within her materials.
