Tina Douglas’ latest exhibition ‘holding pattern’ strips back the language of painting to reveal the underlying tension between intuitive mark-making, expansive fields and the self-imposed rule of the grid.
Douglas uses a long and narrow format, monochromatic canvases that collectively sit precariously between the imagined and the real, structured and unrestrained, and rational and emotive.
‘holding pattern’ will be an exhibition of large paintings which will coincide with an exhibition of works on paper at Tina Douglas’ studio in Fitzroy.
