Ian Davenport has marked his tenth show at London’s Waddington Custot gallery with his largest ever wall-to-floor installation, alongside new and recent work.
‘Lake’ marks the continuation of Davenport’s expansion into bigger-scale works (at the opposite end of the spectrum to a 2017 Swatch collaboration), marrying his hypnotic, distinctive use of colour with a new focus on a more symmetrical sense of rhythm. The lines of paint which pour down one wall pool into a puddle of paint, stretching more than eight metres across the gallery floor. For the first time, visitors are invited to step into the painting.
