Jessica Warboys: Ab Ovo

Ab Ovo is the largest exhibition to date by British artist Jessica Warboys, drawing together new and existing films, paintings, sculptures and performance.

At Spike Island the artist presents a series of sculptural paintings she began in 2009 with Ladder Ladder, a repainting and retitling of a found artwork from 1977. The artist has developed further works from this starting point, each a reflection or variation on the one preceding it, while remaining faithful to the formal qualities of the original. Abstract, geometric, stretched and unstretched, all fifteen paintings produced to date are included here.
