PATRICK LUNDBERG
the edge of the sky or whatever
27 June – 25 July 2020

STATION | SYDNEY

the edge of the sky or whatever, is a continuation of Lundberg's 2019 exhibition In the Vastness of Sorrowful Thoughts at Ivan Anthony Gallery, Auckland. The artist’s now recognisable shoelace paintings comprise a single long narrow piece of fabric handpainted in minimal geometric formations and hung as a singular, vertical work. Each painting alternates between patterns of even and regular oscillations of tone through to syncopated rhythms of intense hues, inviting the viewer in for a close examination of the ‘surface’.

This quiet, minimalist body of work is concerned with illuminating the politics of perception and attention. This speaks to one of Lundberg’s primary artistic concerns, which is to encourage a slowing down and prelonged time spent with the works: his works are such that their true material nature comes into focus only through a commitment of time.
