In collaboration with Adam Gahlin Fine Art and alongside permanent art and design features installed by Russell Sage Studios, Avenue exhibited a series of my paintings in situ. The intention was to dispense with the white cube gallery space and allow the work to be re-read in a large West London restaurant.

The paintings were also intended as bold and colourful incursions into the overall design of the space and were created with my continuing research methods of poured abstract painting techniques, similar to Morris Louis or Jackson Pollock, in conjunction with blown-up, ready-made stencils to interrupt these random, uncontrollable flows. With fragments of words, images or hand-me-down decorative motifs, I aim to create a dialogue between the rational and irrational, or the combination of the ordered with chance elements that wayward materials and stubbornly intentional vinyl signs and symbols permit.

I showed six paintings of various sizes throughout the restaurant, one of which was displayed in the private, rear eating room.
