Consisting solely of works on paper ‘Landermere’ marks Luke Elwes’ second solo exhibition at Frestonian Gallery and the culmination of an extraordinary investigation into a practice that is as meditative as it is dynamic.
For the past two decades, Luke Elwes has alternated his time between his studio in London, mainly working in oil paint, and extended periods out on location making works on paper. Beginning with the Osea series, created over the course of a decade on a small island off the east coast of England, in recent years he has gone on to make significant bodies of work on paper during residencies in the US, at both the Vermont Studio Center and the Albers Foundation in Connecticut.
