Viewing Three artists make the line come alive at Lyndsey Ingram

The humble line is the linking thread between the trio of artists in Lyndsey Ingram’s new show, ranging from the minimal to the exuberantly gestural. As Elliott Puckette says, “I was completely compelled by the line from the get-go. It had more possibilities than form or shape or colour.” Carved into wooden boards prepped with gesso, kaolin and chalk, her colourless loops have a rare energy, while Aimée Parrott‘s vivid sweeps of printed ink, acrylic and fabric dye are more pictorial, suggesting volcanoes, storms and waves. Meanwhile, Tanya Ling’s “Line Paintings” are deeply personal, evoking the movement of her body across paper in her studio. In her new work, “An Odici”, 2024, her customary blue line has evolved into a dense mass of coloured brush strokes, with unusual intensity. Prepare to be hypnotised by these wonderfully discombobulating works.
