Event detail
FORM vs FORM: Abbi Torrance and Paul Ridyard
BEARSPACE is pleased to present Abbi Torrance and Paul Ridyard in FORM vs FORM: an exhibition bringing together their unique practices to investigate the construction of perception through social and romantic ideologies and formations.
Both Torrance and Ridyard show new work: large scale figurative drawings inspired by synchronised swimming formations by Torrance on graph paper, and deeply intricate knarled tree roots and natural phenomenon drawn and mounted by Ridyard.
FORM vs FORM triumphs drawing as a revelatory and relatable medium, exposing the tension between the organic and the highly controlled aspects of contemporary society. Torrance and Ridyard create a paired down and clean aesthetic, instigating a rebirth for drawing in an image and media heavy world.

this is a great show, two emerging artists who work intricately in pencil to produce figurative work that theorises the contemporary landscape, interesting & worth a visit.

This show has an interesting mix of two artists who predominately draw in their practice. Nature and sociology intertwined.
