Trudie Moore will be the first studio resident at Grays Wharf, occupying studio 9 in Sep/Oct 2020. Trudie will use this residency to push the boundaries of her work and take risks to advance it. The large, light space and high ceilings will enable her to ‘create an experiential environment, amplifying the planes of colour with 3-dimensional paintings that explore the use of different ‘canvas’ materials’.
Trudie says of her work:
Pure, luminous fields of colour. Transparencies and opacities that act as both a visual and an actual layer over one another. I set up contrasts in the paintings between the colours, the paint, the surface and the application method. I explore elements to do with control and restraint in the painting process. My current work aims to expand these concepts in a more three dimensional way where the paint and the surface are amplified and become physical expanses, planes and fields important in their own right and not simply an optical illusion. Ideas of control and tensioning are persistent throughout my work, limits and working with the painting as it evolves and the natural dialogue as the painting comes together. In more recent, geometric canvases there are ‘tensioning’ shapes and devices that link areas and layering that creates flow.
