Press Release
Abject Gallery – Elizabeth Eamer – Predicting Shadows
Private View: Saturday the 14th of May from 7- 11pm,
DJ Set by Derek Mainella as the sun goes down.
May 15th to June 11th,
12-5pm Wednesday - Saturday.
Abject Gallery is pleased to announce Predicting Shadows,
Elizabeth Eamer’s first solo exhibition in Newcastle, and the third
show in the gallery. In this show London based artist Elizabeth Eamer
details changes in colour and light over a series of twelve paintings,
using oil on linen mounted on board. They can be viewed individually or
as a whole, creating a gradient of colour. Taking into account the
elevation of the gallery and its large windows, the intention is for the
paintings to be viewed in the gradual changing of light and shadow
throughout the day; particularly during the sunset, which is occurring
at 9.05pm on the 14th of May 2016, which the opening has been happily
arranged to coincide with.
Elizabeth Eamer
(b. 1980 London UK, lives and works in London)
Eamer’s
focus has developed from a figurative practice into more abstract
notions of space together with a heightened interest in the complex
nature of colour and order during the last couple of years, moving from a
predominately drawing and print based practice to painting.
Eamer’s
work has been shown nationally and internationally including at The
Museum Of Contemporary Art (MOCA) Toronto Canada, in 2013, The Goss
Michael Foundation, MTV-ReDefine, Dallas, Texas in 2011, and she has had
solo shows in London, Southampton (UK) and Beijing (China). Eamer
received an MA from the RCA London in 2006.
Opening
