Zig Zag // Abstract Painting
June 30 - August 12, 2023
The Mixing Room Gallery at Thor’s Hammer
Thor’s Hammer is pleased to announce Zig Zag, a chromatic exhibition of abstract painting by artists Al Munro, Hannah Beasley, Ham Darroch and Kate Vassallo.
Zig-zagged 'Warren' trusses span the length of The Mixing Room Gallery above Thor’s Hammer. Featuring a series of equilateral triangles, it’s an eye-catching and efficient design feature of the space that guests often comment on. Warren trusses rely on Euclidean geometry and are characterised by a lightness of appearance that belies their hidden strength.
The curation of Zig Zag took its inspiration from these zig-zag trusses, and speaks to the featured artworks, in which artists use geometry as their creative genesis. Repeated patterns, shapes and interconnecting lines are the basis for this collection of arresting abstract works.
