Press Release

The group exhibition Place Revisited at Modern Art Helmet Row brings together five painters, Richard Aldrich, Prunella Clough, Masanori Tomita, Anh Trần and Terry Winters.

Working in different contexts and times, each is recognised for building a system of idiosyncratic shapes and signs, drawing from diverse sources such as architecture, geometry, science, pop culture, and personal biography. The writer John Berger referred to Prunella Clough’s paintings as ‘abstract still life’. Fittingly, the resulting work of all five acknowledges its source material tacitly, without directly engaging in representational painting. Via repeated marks and layers, these artists build up a surface that supports bold and defined forms, contesting the relationship between figure and ground in painting. Each artwork is executed within a different time frame, specific to the artist’s working practice. What unites these five artists is an appreciation of time’s influence on their work, allowing for painterly actions and revisited motifs to produce surface complexity.

About the Gallery
Modern Art is a London based gallery opened by Stuart Shave in 1998.

In 20 years the gallery has occupied six locations in east and central London, presently being homed across two London spaces; a converted 5,000 sq ft pre-war factory building in the Clerkenwell area of central London and a 6,000 sq ft space on Vyner Street, in East London. The gallery has continued to present concurrent exhibitions in both spaces. Each year Modern Art participates in art fairs in Basel, Hong Kong, Miami, London, Los Angeles and San Francisco.

The gallery has a diverse intergenerational and international programme. Modern Art’s intention is to assist artists in the development of their practices and the creation of new work by fostering relationships between artists, institutions, collectors, curators, and audiences. Artists represented by Modern Art participate in exhibitions at the highest international level with museums, foundations, biennales and collections.
