Void_Melbourne presents Basel Series, the second solo exhibition by Sydney-based artist Suzie Idiens. Originating from a set of small sketches made after visiting the Kunstmuseum Basel, the works pursue a precise idea: investigations into the formal consequences of a single intervention of a geometric form. One corner removed. A slice, a soft incision, cutting away at the edge. Each painting pursues this idea with precision and conviction: a dominant field of thinly veiled colour, held against a restrained incursion of a second colour at the margin. The exacting line where the two colours meet marks a clear delineation of territory on the canvas. Paint continues around the exposed cotton canvas edges, the work asserting itself as an object as much as an image.
