Testing Tropes brings together six young artists working in London and Cornwall. Starting from the idea of a ‘trope’, a commonly recurring structure or motif used in art practices such as the figure, the minimal or the classical, the exhibition explores the relationship between these formal structures of the past and how they might be re-considered in the present.
Working across a variety of media including sculpture, painting, print, photography and film, these six artists all display an ability to stretch, question and reinvent our histories and heritage. The resulting work is both familiar and unknown, mapping out patterns between times, places and disciplines. |
