For August
Strength & Fragility
Works on Paper by Vyvyan Hope-Scott
In August we’re joined by Bristol artist Vyvyan Hope-Scott, whose evocative works on paper are rooted in 20th Century abstraction, but also inspired by landscape, architecture and engineered structures. Using the dramatic simplicity of black and white, or earthy tones that contain iron powder, Vyvyan creates palpable depth and tension: a balance between strength and fragility which he often finds in the slowly decaying monuments to industry around the docks in his home city. Here corrosion and erosion are transforming the once monolithic into something more vulnerable and intricate, and these slow but irresistible processes shape a unique body of paintings.
With Vyvyan’s collection we’re also showing new work by other gallery artists, including Stephanie Cunningham, Nancy Pickard and Trevor Lillistone.
