Abstract Compression
Solo Exhibition at Mill Tye Gallery
"This exhibition takes its name from the eponymous series of new works by Billy Myles-Berkouwer. With this series, the artist reflects a state in which human experience and expression is increasingly mediated by technology. The works engender a visual experience akin to Abstract Expressionist paintings, but are composed of sumptuous colour gradients and razor-sharp, gestural lines which would normally be found on-screen. By adapting the tools of digital imagery (such as the digital brush and the gradient fill tools) and rendering them using traditional art mediums and techniques, the artist produces paintings that couldn’t have been made in a previous historical moment.
The collection to be displayed at Mill Tye Gallery is the result of a focused period of work since Myles-Berkouwer moved from London to his studio in Sudbury, Suffolk this summer. The exhibition follows from the success of his two-person exhibition The Warehouse Show, and the group exhibition Enter the Vacuum held in South-East London." - Extract from exhibition press release
