Harder Edge
At the end of 2018 we co-curated HARDER EDGE , a group exhibition, with Dominic Beattie at h Club London and Saatchi Gallery
Featuring 11 artists in various stages of their career, from influential world-renowned painter Tess Jaray, to Olly Fathers, an emerging artist based in Brixton, HARDER EDGE is a dynamic exploration of modern abstraction from the 1950s to today.
HARDER EDGE presents the works of Felix Baudenbacher, Dominic Beattie, Olly Fathers, James Alec Hardy, Stephen Jaques, Tess Jaray, Caroline Kryzecki, Kate Matthews, Stephen Lewis, Selma Parlour and Charley Peters, all of whom are presenting work in a variety of mediums including painting, sculpture and video installations.
Within this multi-generational group show the curator, Dominic Beattie, and I have selected artists that create visual links between his own practice and theirs, that of modern abstraction. Specifically we highlight how all the artists are linked through their exploration of line, geometry and colour, and the subsequent abstraction of these themes.
Ali Hillman, Curator
“It is wonderful to be working with artist and curator Dominic Beattie on this very special exhibition, HARDER EDGE, at h CLUB. The artists on show really represent a cross section of talent from over several generations and it really is exciting to see such vibrant works all together, many of whom were launched through h Club's programme over recent years.”
