Spencer Harrison: Semi/Permeable continues this week at Project8

Across the exhibition, abstraction acts as a kind of filter or threshold, where forms, colours and perceptions pass through one another. Geometric forms stretch across the walls, fold onto the floor and reappear on freestanding structures.

The exhibition is on view until 20 June.

Inside Spencer Harrison’s studio.

In Harrison’s work, geometric abstraction becomes a way of thinking through the modern world: its design, architecture, technology and the built environment. Colour sits at the centre of this practice, explored through its phenomenology, emotive qualities and sociopolitical meaning.

See Spencer Harrison’s works in Semi/Permeable, on view at Project8 until 20 June.

Drawing on Helen Frankenthaler’s soak-stain technique, these paintings use diluted washes of paint applied directly to canvas. Soft, atmospheric fields are interrupted by precise geometric forms, creating a delicate tension between the natural and the constructed, order and disorder. Across the works, opposing qualities do not resolve so much as press against one another, becoming porous thresholds through which colour, form and perception move.

Spencer Harrison: Semi/Permeable continues this week at Project8, Wednesday–Saturday, 11am–5pm.
