DUBAI---
Custot Gallery is presenting
Ian Davenport’s first solo exhibition in Dubai, ‘Cascade’. The exhibition presents sixteen new works, which develop Davenport’s rigorous investigation into colour relationships and the painting process. Davenport’s meticulous painting technique plays with timing and chance, allowing carefully selected chromatic palettes to flow down to the bottom of the painting. This emphasises the materiality and liquidity of his work. In two new large-scale works, ‘Mirrored Place’ (2017) and ‘Cobalt Blue Water’ (2017), Davenport has taken this technique one step further, by co-opting the intricate puddled section at the bottom of the painting, as a sculptural element.
