Abstract artists, Bruce, Strauss and Xu explore the geometric plane through their contemporary studio practices.
On Planar is a group exhibition featuring Magandjin/Brisbane-based artists Felicity Celeste Bruce, Oliver Strauss and Yingxi Xu. ‘Planar’ is a specialised mathematic term which, according to the Cambridge Dictionary, describes ‘having a flat surface that continues in all directions’. Bruce, Strauss and Xu explore this idea through their contemporary practices of geometric abstraction and conceptual painting.
The title, a linguistic ode to the modernist method, en plein air, overlaps the distinctiveness between the artists’ selected works. Though not involving outdoor painting, On Planar critically and experimentally addresses the unique observation and production process of abstract art from modernism to now. The artists employ methods such as technical drawing, hard edge, audience imagination, 留白 (‘leaving blank’), mental/visual kerfuffles, and juxtaposition. Together they scrutinise the two-dimensional and physical boundaries of the art object through studio and philosophical inquiries into surface, support and space.
