a riveting mashup of images and textures, Chloe Early's latest gallery juxtaposes urban housing blocks, tanks, and bodies sprawled out. her work on perspex is particularly compelling, introducing an element of translucency to each piece, a texture she exploits along with her palette of rough paint scrapings and drips. the aluminium pieces were slightly less convincing, losing the tight mesh of narrative.
i especially liked the printed urban landscape cutting into the painted space - the stark, looming blocks sticking through. there were prints for sale as well, also with the same urban motifs, but they felt different...
image on the right is a work-in-progress of the piece above it.
