Middle Distance at Facade

Blair Zaye in association with Moderna Art presents ‘Middle Distance’ a small group show of epic proportions staged inside a rough-and-ready 1600sqft disused bank. Located on London Wall, the space is just 5 minutes walk from Bank and Liverpool Street Stations and is surrounded by several investment banks and companies in the financial epicentre of London.

middle distance - n. (the middle distance) The area between the foreground and background in a painting, drawing, or photograph. Also called middle ground.

‘Middle Distance’ brings a high calibre of abstract artists from across the globe together on middle ground - the gallery. The exhibition consists Kirtland Ash, Paul Freud(son of Lucian Freud), David Meekison and Blair Zaye. While each artist works in the abstract realm they all have a different approach to abstraction. Using a combination of line, colour, form, texture, the brush stroke and the notion of artist’s mark to create compositional pieces which exist with a degree of independence from real life visual references in the world around them. Primarily non-representational indicating a departure from reality. The title of the exhibition eludes perhaps to the abstract finding its place in the ‘Middle Distance’ - the non space between the foreground and back ground and/or the artist’s themselves exploring this space between spaces in search of abstraction.
