LONDON.- Rebecca Lidert, the director of CNB Gallery, and the London-based curator Sharon Newton present a body of new work by the acclaimed British artist Danny Rolph, his first solo exhibition in London in four years.

Entitled East Central, the show is an installation made up of four of Rolph’s signature ‘triplewall’ paintings, each one drawing on the artist’s memories of growing up in East Central London, and offering an extraordinary palimpsest of historical and modern architecture, skyscapes and light.

The seemingly chaotic and colourful paintings are created by layering sculptural polycarbonate with expressionistic brushwork and collaged imagery, explosions of geometric shapes with kaleidoscopic movement. Abstract and anarchic yet controlled, his works are characterised by a sense of energy.

Says curator Sharon Newton: ‘These beautiful paintings capture the dynamism of the city, and are reflective of the areas in which Danny grew up. While they are arranged as an installation, each work is self-contained, revealing a highly personalised response to each of the districts of East Central London.’

Born in London in 1967, Danny Rolph holds a BA (Hons) Fine Art from the Winchester School of Art, and an MA Painting from the Royal College of Art. He is a Visiting Professor in Fine Art at Bucks New University, and a Visiting Tutor at the Royal Academy Schools. He has been nominated for the Sovereign European Art Prize and Hamlyn Award, and has received numerous prizes including the John Minton Travel Award, a Delfina Trust Award, the London Arts Visual Arts Award, and was a Scholar at the British School at Rome.

Recent solo exhibitions include Recollection, 532 Gallery, New York (2015); Paradiso, Barbara Davis Gallery, Houston (2014); Atelier, E.S.A.D., Valence, France (2013). His work has been shown in many group shows, in galleries in the UK and abroad, and is held in public collections including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Tate Britain, as well as in several major private collections. Rolph recently completed a large installation for Facebook HQ, and lives and works in London.
