Abstract painting’s diverse and vigorous practices remain in a transient state of being, passing from, between and into other states. Interlude presents the work of three artists whose individual approaches to painting fuse self reflexive criticality, material experimentation and aesthetic impact with a rich engagement in Modernism’s temporal histories. Working with the autonomy of invention inherent in abstraction, Lamb, Peters and Rough explore a layered, complex and sensual grammar of paint that encourage possibilities of renewal and transformation.  Showcasing work made or selected with the unique architecture of The House of St Barnabas in mind, the exhibition constructs a transitional space in which to consider the fluid relationships between the artists and the nature of painting itself.
