To describe Christian Lock’s work as painting does not quite encompass the nature of his practice. He works with painting, interrogating its components and parts, examining their roles and possibilities before pulling them back together in the final object. Sampling and repurposing a diverse range of forms, motifs and strategies from Modernism, the industrial processes and materiality of minimalism and the hybrid language of Post Modernism and Pop Culture. The work becomes a ‘remix’; creating new tracks from fragments of old songs, full of quiet nods to the history of painting whilst exploring its possibilities and suggesting its potential future.

Opening Event: Wednesday 6 December, 6 – 8pm.
