Solo exhibition | London 2021

Luke Elwes: Landermere, a new collection of large works on paper will be on show this winter at the Frestonian Gallery, 2 Olaf Street, London W11 4BE

Centred on a fragile wilderness of salt flats and tidal marshland in Essex, they capture the permeable and ever shifting line between water, earth and sky across the space of a year. Each image is begun and completed in one sitting – whatever the weather – and refers both to the immediacy a single encounter and the recollection of past experience. These recurring moments become one of a sequence, forming (through the cycle of seasons) a living record that reflects on the fluid interaction of water and ground while simultaneously employing the elements – rain, silt, river water - as both the medium and material in their making.

Exhibition dates: 11 November - 22 December 2021. Further details on gallery website
