‘Kindle is an exhibition of new works on canvas and linen. This shift in medium resonates with my new works as they become more intimately related to their texture and backgrounds. Kindle continues my exploration and thoughts relating to our relationship between the built and natural environments.
My works are influenced by the shapes, forms, color and textures found during my everyday encounters as I move through these environments. Kindle conjures up thoughts of beginnings, of origins, of seeking and finding, of stoking a fire and bringing something back to life.
There is a certain immediacy and urgency to my works for the exhibition. Each work serving as a snapshot, perhaps a sentence from a paragraph, or a chapter from a non-fiction, sometimes only one word can make all the difference.’ - Paul Senyol.
Gideon Appah and Paul Senyol first met at the 2015 Barclays L’Atelier competition, where both were top10 finalists.
Gideon’s work having won the prize for the best foreign entry and a residency stay at the Bag Factory in 2016.
From their first conversations, both artists realised a common influence, origin, and explorative themes to their work. This led to the idea of exhibiting together which has become a reality after Gideon recently completed his residency at the Bag Factory.
Both artists look forward to presenting a body of fresh, bold and exciting new works for Kindle.
The hope is that this will be the beginning of a relationship between them as painters which will continue to flourish in the years to come.
