Shaping Time: Coco Crampton & Joseph Goody
11/09/24 – 27/09/24

Wednesday 11th – Friday 27th September 2024
Preview: Tuesday 10th September, 6 – 8 pm

Sims Reed Gallery and Oliver Projects are delighted to present a joint exhibition which brings together two contemporary artists – Coco Crampton and Joseph Goody. The show will present exciting new directions for both artists, exploring their mutual interest in playful repetition, and the relationship between words and form.

Working respectively in sculpture and painting, Coco and Joseph’s visual languages have evolved rapidly in recent months. For Coco, a move to Devon and the arrival of her first child have initiated fresh ways of working using plaster and cloth to explore storytelling. These new sculptures, which are shaped like books and heads, are painted with abstract blocks of colour.

A similarly significant shift in Joseph’s practice has also occurred in the past year. His compositions- which historically have been populated by large, abstract forms – have begun to feel dramatically different, with a greater sense of complexity. The multiple shapes inhabiting these new works explore limitations and edges, creating their own beginnings and endings

The exhibition will feature new paintings (including ‘Bookmark’, pictured) by Joseph and new sculpture by Coco, alongside works on paper by both artists.
