Mark Joyce - Solas Salach

Green On Red Gallery are proud to present an exhibition of new works by Mark Joyce. This solo exhibition will preview from 6pm on Thursday 18th of October. The exhibition continues until Saturday November 24th, 2018.

Mark Joyce’s new paintings explore the anomalies and phenomenological strangeness of our optical experience. Improvised compositions on raw linen explore light as a physical entity. The motifs are drawn from scientific and philosophical models, but without that vantage point or privileged field of vision. The works explore the glitches and gaps in our “enlightenment”. With titles such as Dirty Neon (2018) these paintings reference an urban light, that violent electrical discharge which passes through the aethers to keep out the ancient darkness.
