Tiko Kerr: Politics of Proximity
Mónica Reyes Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of Politics of Proximity, a solo show with Tiko Kerr. The term proximity, defined as "nearness in space, time, relationship" by the Oxford Dictionary, encompasses the essence of Tiko Kerr's works. This exhibition presents an insight into Tiko Kerr's artistic practice throughout his career. Showcasing works on canvas, collage and his latest exploration into the medium of plexi-glass. Different media but as intertwined as conceivable. Politics of proximity: proximity of space in-between the various layers of plexi, proximity of color, proximity of materiality, proximity of structure, proximity of forms, proximity among one another.
Politics of Proximity is a survey of work (in a variety of media) exploring the formal concerns of colour, structure and materiality of forms in the picture plane. But more importantly, it considers the implications of proximity between forms in space as a reflection of our own physical proximity to one another during our extraordinary contemporary moment.
