Helen A. Pritchard: Moths, Drones And Drainpipes

Pritchard's first solo-show at Rove Gallery, Moths, Drones & Drainpipes, features works which play with aesthetic conventions and established genres of painting. The painted canvases are seen attached to a canvas board, evincing a page-like quality, where registration marks reveal the history of the painting.

Made over the course of a year, the featured works use a variety of materials such as damar resin, pigment, oil paint, spray, charcoal, enamel,and collage. Each layer of paint is documented by a series of accompanying photographs, diagrams and written work presented as contingent parts of the process to Pritchard's formal decision-making.
