- a two-person show bringing together works by Francesca Dolor (b.1990, London) and David Flaugher (b.1986, Detroit).

 is an excerpt of a poem by the eccentric 15th century Zen Master Ikkyū. The enthusiastic greeting to dust is an act of acknowledging and revering the fleeting state of all observational phenomena. The dissolution of familiar forms seems a useful metaphor in the pairing of two artists who have a shared affinity for formulating idiosyncratic worlds.

In the works of Dolor and Flaugher, there is an extensive, routine practice of navigating internalised landscapes. Through fully saturated, time-intensive processes of planning, layering, and removal, their individualised approaches to the pre-formative circumvent the provisional. Each manages the boundary between the familiar and the estranged with a heightened sensitivity to their mediums and its illusory depictions. Within a quiet focus, the disruptive quality of incomplete geometries, patchy colour-fields, and broken gestures give way to self-reflexive states.

Francesca Dolor is a painter whose work is concerned with areas of extremity to form a type of psychic self-surgery. Their paintings and drawings are formed of self-automated internal subject matters, exploring internal landscapes and architectures, ideas of subversion, and the subconscious.

David Flaugher is an artist working in painting and installation. Expanding from a recent series of tabletop still-lifes the works in this exhibition focus on austere depictions of furniture and the interiors that house them. Rendered without any real-world sources, each painting serves as a window into a post-human scenario where an uncanny event has recently occurred or is just starting to unfold.
