Huxley-Parlour are delighted to announce a new exhibition of works by Catherine Repko. Duets, presented at our Swallow Street gallery, will showcase a suite of ten new large-scale paintings that focus on the interconnection of two figures. The artist’s figures exist at a threshold, simultaneously tender and passive, as Repko weaves an ambiguity into her canvases through an abstraction of space.
There is a heightened restlessness to the subjects of this new body of work: fingers point, knees are bent in motion, torsos contort themselves. The animation of the figures lends the paintings a temporal quality; Repko captures her subjects in transition between that which has come before and that which lies ahead. Umbras cast outlines that envelop Repko’s figures, creating a liminality between subject and background. The artist’s formal experimentation extends the sense of fluidity: planes of colour oscillate between opacity and translucence offering an ambiguity of depth and perspective, between the tangible and the ephemeral; densely layered swathes of oil juxtapose more gestural, luminous mark-making.
