Sophie Kitching Nocturne II, 2022 Oil, ink, watercolor, gouache, pastel, charcoal on canvas 140 x 91.5 cm (55 x 36 inches) Entitled “touch of time”, this exhibition of new paintings, sculptures, and works on paper continues the artist’s ongoing investigations into color, perception and space as translated through the language and materiality of abstraction. Running through the artist’s works are a series of meditations on painting and its co-mingling with modern materials of industrial production. Gentle swoops of color and a studied balance of the picture plane find a conceptual counterpoint with media sourced from the urban landscape: sheets of corrugated plastic, two-way mirrors, and meticulously cut limestone and aerated concrete. The exhibition was prepared both in New York, where Sophie Kitching lives & works, and in Paris, where she spent the summer of 2022. Spread between new series and conceptual ground, these works treat organic forms and inorganic surfaces with equal care, allowing their shared materiality to speak to a distinctly contemporary facet of modern life, a world somewhere between the man-made and the naturally occurring. #alicefolkergallery #sophiekitching #copenhagen ♥️
