David Tremlett : 3 Drawing Rooms

4 Dec 2013-21 Apr 2014

Overview

David Tremlett, best known for his site-specific wall drawings, makes a vast new work for Ikon, transforming its second floor galleries with geometric shapes, applied directly to the walls using pastel pigment and engine grease. Each of the three rooms has a contrasting composition: horizontal and vertical rectangular blocks of vivid colour, and grey and black, playing off the volumes of architectural space in order to ‘retune’ our perception of them.
