SONANCE | Siobhán McDonald at Taylor Galleries

Event Details

The exhibition SONANCE brings together a series of abstract works on Japanese paper, canvas and wood through which the artist explores states of transition. The sources of the paintings include references to ancient geological maps, the edges of seascapes, exposing the layers of the Anthropocene and human displacement. An engagement with realms of deep time informs the imagery, transforming the invisible and the imagined into a resonant visual language. McDonald’s paintings combine intense sequences of oil paint with natural materials such as iron-rich oxides, cinnabar, malachite and plaster, producing works charged with movement, sound, and rhythm.
