Neon Parlour is proud to present PROTOTYPE | Ted McKinlay
Doors open this Friday at 6:30
One stands before Ted McKinlay’s pastel drawings as before an attractive but vexing puzzle. The first look reveals a complex and pleasurable assemblage of line, shape and colour, which gives way to a nagging feeling that you’re not getting it all. This is because the shapes are not always defined and the planes intimate things hidden, as though concealed within a stereogram. What we really see is a painstaking negotiation between the artist and the very terms on which representation is grounded. Words by Safdar Ahmed.
