"Stain Pattern" is a group exhibition curated by Glenn Sorensen.
There are works of four artists on display which according to Sorensen all have the intention to make something "beautiful", seductive objects that you want to hold, something you'd like to live with without exactly knowing why. It is not necessarily a comfortable beauty, but rather an attractive and tempting beauty.
Roger Hiorns' (1975) sculptures are sometimes frightening transformations of existing objects that know how to keep the past of the objects perceptible. Hiorns' work has a 'twisted beauty' that is never 'static'.
Eva Larsson's (1954)drawings draw you to them, they are made of tiny marks that expand and contract. Seen from afar the patterns have a mathematical coldness but viewing the work from close by they are very human and therewith seductive drawings.
David Musgrave's (1973) drawings bear witness to an enormous carefulness and precision, his work feels very considerate, there is a reason for each detail.
David Noonan's (1969) atmospheric silk-screen printings Sorensen describes as "dreams that keep you from getting back to sleep, even though you're not sure what it is that has upset you. Noonan's images are like stains in your head, they can be beautiful but are mostly uncomfortable and vague".
