H_A_R_D_P_A_P_E_R is the third in a series of exhibitions at Phoenix Art Space that highlight work by contemporary abstract painters. This iteration focusses on works on paper, from preparatory studies to finished paintings, acknowledging the different qualities of surface that can influence mark making. For this exhibition artists from the previous two have been asked to select a piece of their own work, and invite another artist to be involved.

H_A_R_D_P_A_P_E_R does not dictate an aesthetic. Nor does it imply a preference for one process over another. Rather it concerns itself with the elusive and critical nature of contemporary non-objective painting today; the complexities, the overlooked simplicities and the ‘wonder’ it can engender.

Join us for an exhibition exploring space, colour, line and edge.
