LARGE BLACK INKS – 2007

“These large-scale ink paintings explore the emotive and affective potentials of relationships of surface to depth, and between scale and texture. In some of the purely abstract pieces, we see kelp-like oppressive environments emerge as well as wave-like movements.”

~ David Brodie, Mail & Guardian press release

DESCRIPTION

Robyn Denny’s solo exhibition of Large Black Inks marked the artist’s return to painting. The underground floor of The Hudson building was emptied to make way for a cavernous installation where subterranean darkness was pierced by vaults of light. These spot-lights illuminated the film-screen scale paintings. 

Large Black Inks pre-figured further installations which came to fuse elements of lighting, film, painting and performance.
