PEPPI BOTTROP

Pilar Corrias is pleased to present two concurrent exhibitions by Peppi Bottrop. In Where the Future Grows, on view at Savile Row, Bottrop debuts a new body of work made on copper mesh, while Memory Lines, on view at Conduit Street, presents a series of monochrome charcoal and graphite works on canvas, alongside Bernd and Hilla Becher’s Blast Furnaces, 1970-94. Bottrop’s conceptual investigation of his materials offers a way to reframe the conditions and effects of contemporary ideological agendas. Where the Future Grows is an immersive display of gesture, movement, and line-making at Savile Row, while Memory Lines at Conduit Street displays fourteen monochrome charcoal works on canvas in dialogue with the Bechers’ Blast Furnaces. Bottrop’s new works share with the Bechers’ typology a memory of the past and a devotion to the austere beauty of simple, industrial forms and materials.
