Emma Langridge continues to pursue the line as her subject in her first solo exhibition at Anna Pappas Gallery. Signal to Noise will feature a new series of mediative work created in 2014.
Langridge’s paintings, although physically composed of few elements – line, proportion, colour and medium – visually they are incredibly complex. Langridge says her work is the “accumulated result of the repeated action of hand and arm, left to right, upper edge to lower, mapping an expansion of time and space.”
Even in the most mechanical of processes, if the hand is employed there will no doubt be a degree of unintentional mark-making which finds its way into a work. Such is the case in Langridge’s painting practice. By adhering to a rigid process, that which is unintentional becomes the variable and therefore the focus. The schism between the deliberate and perceived and that which occurs randomly is Langridge’s long-time subject and will be the focus of her upcoming solo exhibition.
Langridge completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts, University of Western Australia in 1996 and moved to Melbourne in 2001. She has held solo exhibitions across Australia, had her work included in numerous curated exhibitions, prizes and award shows nationally and internationally including shows in the Netherlands, France, Belgium, Germany, United States of America and Greece. Her work has been acquired by prominent collections such as the Benalla Art Gallery, Artbank and Bankwest.
