Adrian Pritchard: Osmosis


Exhibition 03 – 30 June 2007

This exhibition of new paintings by emerging artist Adrian Pritchard is a fusion of science and visual exploration in paint.

Pritchard, who has exhibited nationally and internationally including Japan and Germany, brings a series of new gloss drip technique paintings to the Kiln House Gallery, Thornton.

These paintings have an appealing fluid texture, and through intuitively mixing various types of paint he creates a crucial tension on the surface which suggests an ‘inner life force’ or organic presence.

Working with techniques parallel to that of a scientific experiment, Prichard explains ‘I make work that attempts to redefine our relationship with matter by using gravity, the very force that universally dictates form.’
