Following her participation in Deptford X Fringe last Autumn, Madi Acharya-Baskerville returns to Vinyl Deptford with a solo exhibition of new works.
Absent Beach presents a collection of new paintings developed over the last two years. The works refer to a sense of loss, a nostalgia for lost origins, but simultaneously hint at new beginnings - discovering new places some of which are within our imagination, collaged from experiences rather than a product of stark reality.
The found surface itself has a past: marked, textured, battered, worn out; hence marking time whilst the irregular edges suggest a continuity beyond what can be viewed. The hidden depths within our oceans, the mysteriousness of what lies beneath the surface is ever present in Absent Beach.
Madi’s work is concerned with the synthesis of unlikely elements. Using objects, textiles, song, conversation and magazine cuttings as her resource, she creates works which move fluidly between different media.
Vinyl Deptford is a record shop, gallery, vegan café and micro venue in one of London’s oldest streets. Check website for open times.
