Rowena Hughes at Room

PV  Wednesday 7/9  6.00-8.00PM | Show:  8/9 till 15/10/2011

Rowena Hughes works with the layering of abstract form and photographic imagery from discarded books, drawing or screen-printing a recurring vocabulary of geometric form often based on Roger Penrose’s complex non-repeating patterns onto images of baroque architecture or the natural world. The element of chance in the printed compositions exploits the interplay between the intentional and the accidental, the ideal abstract rational order of mathematics and the evocative uncertainty of the found book pages.

ROWENA HUGHES recently graduated from the Slade MFA. Her work was selected for New Contemporaries at A Foundation, Liverpool and the ICA, London as well as being included in the group exhibitions at Rod Barton, Arcade and FAS Contemporary. Hughes was named in the Independent as one of the ten most interesting artists to graduate in 2011.
