An exhibition which brings together a group of small paintings made over the past four years by Ian Parker LG. 3 September – 7 October 2025.
Parker’s work is grounded in the material practice of painting, the modernist notion of painting as matter, its status and process as material.
A work may begin with a specific idea or as a vague reaction; a response to a thought, a shape, map colour keys, other works, studio paraphernalia, everyday domestic objects, drawings, a piece of information. This can be emotional, political, aesthetic, material or intellectual, and often a combination of all these elements. This experiential flux is mediated through the language of painting; received, learnt, remembered, questioned, discarded and rediscovered. And always the thing itself as it unfolds through the act of making, an accretion, a kind of muscle memory.
