Oliver Beer: Resonance Paintings: The Cave

March 1 - April 19

WHO

Oliver Beer

WHAT
Following his recent critically-acclaimed installation at the 17th Biennale de Lyon, the series of Resonance paintings by the British artist (b.1985) is presented at the gallery for the first time. Drawing on both his musical and artistic training, he plays precise harmonies through loudspeakers positioned beneath horizontally-oriented canvases scattered with dry pigment, adjusting the frequencies to produce swelling, rippling patterns that correspond to the musical vibrations. He captures these dynamic forms using a fixing technique, binding the pigment to the canvas to transform the ephemeral shape of sound into something visible and lasting.

WHY
The artist is known for pushing the boundaries between visual art, music and space. His series has been developed over years of research and experimentation using sound vibrations to compose precise forms on canvas. The exhibition deepens his conceptual exploration of the hidden ties between collective musical memory and visual expression, revealing how sound can shape form and how abstraction is embedded in the way we hear.
