an exhibition of new and early works by British painter Tess Jaray.
With a career spanning over five decades, Jaray has continually explored geometry, colour, pattern and repetition, often inspired by architectural structures. Unlike the certainties of mathematical geometry, Jaray focuses on what she describes as the ‘geometry of human relationships’, challenging the viewers’ perception and relationship with the space surrounding us.
On display are large-scale paintings on the theme of Aleppo and a series of small vibrant works from recent years, as well as drawings from throughout her career. Taking inspiration from Islamic tiling, non-Western ancient structures, and Renaissance architecture, Jaray creates works that explore the enigmatic relationship between space, form and colour. The artist states, ‘My use of geometry has more to do with the relationships between people or things, rather than anything mathematical’.
Organised in collaboration with Karsten Schubert.
