Descripción de la Exposición

Standstill presents the work of Alexandre Canonico and Paul Barlow after sharing a studio together for the past six months. Both artists articulate certain ideas around perceptual experience, economy of means and contingency through painting in Barlow’s work and through sculpture in Canonico’s work. Barlow’s paintings are made through a process of wearing and draining away paint with water, holding a surface tension that at once creates both the revealing and disappearance of an image. Canonico’s three-dimensional works employ everyday industrial materials such as steel washers, webbing straps and MDF boards, negotiating the way these materials meet and behave in relation to each other and to the space of which they are installed. Placed in response to the cross over’s in each others work and to the gallery’s architecture the artworks in this show are a moment held in pause, something that was once in movement has stopped and is now fixed into view. Alexandre Canonico (1974, Pirassununga, Brazil) Studied Architecture and Town Planning at Faculdade de Belas Artes de São Paulo (1995-1999) and has Post graduate diploma, Royal Academy Schools, London (2017-2020).
