Spencer Finch at the Lisson Gallery, 52-54 Bell Street, 29 May - 26 Jul

Exhibition Description:

This is Finch's first major solo presentation in London. His work entwines a scientific methodology and a poetic sensibility. By using fluorescent lights with coloured filters, Finch distills his views of the world into glowing abstract colour. His subject has its origin in the artist's own observation of a particular time or place with a lingering historical resonance. For example, Troy in Eos (Dawn, Troy, 10/27/02) or Paris/Texas (France at dusk on January 8, 2003). Lux and Lumen will include two new installations, a video work and works on paper.
