Sarah Cunningham: The Crystal Forest

12 Jul-26 Aug 2023

Lisson Gallery, 67 Lisson St
London NW1 5DA

Overview

Lisson Gallery presents its first solo exhibition by British painter Sarah Cunningham exploring psychological spaces and multifaceted landscapes, composed within layered and generative canvases. Cunningham’s kaleidoscopic environments and imagined forest clearings are constructed over time through layers of gesture and radiating bursts of light, line and colour. She draws from a multitude of literary, art historical and personal references, including JG Ballard’s 1966 science-fiction novel, The Crystal World, although her own crystalline scenes are structured from shifting, penumbral planes and collaged fragments, leading viewers through the proscenium arch into new worlds beyond.
