Neon Parc presents 21st Century, a solo exhibition by Trevelyan Clay at the Brunswick gallery.

For his seventh solo project with Neon Parc, Clay amalgamates the two main streams of his practice, abstract and figurative painting, leaving behind the idea of being a defined genre painter and allowing a more fluid methodology to rise.

Clay goes through long periods where he will construct only abstract paintings which are meditations on colour and composition, and then times where singularly referential or figurative works are his obsession. 21st Century offers the viewer the opportunity to see the confluence of these two streams, as Clay shifts continually between the abstract and the figurative, his style and technique mutating accordingly.
