Carol Drofiak and Daniel Iles introduce new work on paper. Gesture, glimpse and memory are integral themes in Carol Drofiak’s work. In the gap between figuration and abstraction, she finds a way in to the process of transformation. Her drawings, like her paintings, allude to an uncertain reality, creating tensions, which are both seductive and enigmatic. Carol lives and works in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire. In Daniel’s work the material qualities of marks made by paint on paper evoke possible images. Like silent haiku they engage the viewer in an open conversation about their significance. The paintings shown here are part of a practice which includes oil paintings and installations. They draw on forms and colours re-assembled from the artist’s everyday experience navigating a space between the actuality and the facticity of that world. They represent nothing, but demonstrate their own reality as fragile images hovering between the ideal and the real. Daniel lives and works near Wargrave in the UK. Both artists are graduates of BNU, and will participate in Smaller than a Lemon curated by Danny Rolph at Angelika Studios in April. Last year they collaborated with poet Sarah Jackson to make Tang, copies of which will be on sale at the exhibition.
