LONDON.- The group exhibition Place Revisited at Modern Art Helmet Row brings together five painters, Richard Aldrich, Prunella Clough, Masanori Tomita, Anh Trần and Terry Winters.

Working in different contexts and times, each is recognised for building a system of idiosyncratic shapes and signs, drawing from diverse sources such as architecture, geometry, science, pop culture, and personal biography. The writer John Berger referred to Prunella Clough’s paintings as ‘abstract still life’. Fittingly, the resulting work of all five acknowledges its source material tacitly, without directly engaging in representational painting. Via repeated marks and layers, these artists build up a surface that supports bold and defined forms, contesting the relationship between figure and ground in painting. Each artwork is executed within a different time frame, specific to the artist’s working practice. What unites these five artists is an appreciation of time’s influence on their work, allowing for painterly actions and revisited motifs to produce surface complexity.

“Painting is a visualization system for rearranging the Reality Studio - that’s William Burrough’s idea. The information already exists, and that found data is fed into the painting's feedback loop. The process is pushed and pulled until there’s an image - a material presence and an optical likeness. Then I’m outside the picture” - Terry Winters
