Moira Clark Colour Complex
Colour Complex debuts new abstract paintings which build on
Clark’s longstanding fascination with colour harmonics,
composition, and the formal elements of painting. These large
and vital paintings transform varied representational references
into amorphous puzzle pieces squeezed together and fine-tuned
to produce paintings that are simultaneously tense and
harmonious.
Clark was born, lives and works in Toronto. She was included in
the exhibitions Art School {Dismissed} curated by Heather Nicol;
and The C Word, curated by Richard Mongiat. She was a
founding member of loop Gallery, and has also been represented
in Toronto by XEXE Gallery/KWT Contemporary. Her work was
granted a retrospective exhibit at the Cambridge Galleries in
Preston, and was also selected for inclusion in the 2008
Magenta publication Carte Blanche Vol. 2: Painting

Just in time (or hanging by a thread) follows Singer’s ongoing
exploration of the cultural nuances and sculptural qualities of
everyday language. The installation features 24 hourglasses, a
metronome, and a blue neon text reading: "so I watched him take
his last breath and I was relieved. I needed the certainty that he
was gone". Placed alongside signifiers of the demarcation of time,
this enigmatic passage about loss functions as both text and object.
