Ian Davenport
"The juxtaposition between organisation and disarray within Davenport’s work is powerful and striking […] Regularity is opposed with rapture. Reason is set against ecstasy.” Alastair Sooke
Cristea Roberts Gallery is delighted to present Pathway, a solo exhibition of prints and works on paper by Ian Davenport. The prints are in a variety of scales, some made using a combination of up to forty colours. They are exhibited alongside Davenport’s largest ever work on paper, measuring almost three metres in length and made using his technique of applying jets of colour to form densely layered compositions.
The works in Pathway exemplify a further and more daring exploration into the nature of materials and colour, that underpins the artist’s evolving practice. Davenport’s sixth exhibition at Cristea Roberts Gallery is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue featuring a text by art critic, writer and broadcaster Alastair Sooke.

Book
This hard-back publication explores a significant body of works on paper by Ian Davenport, including a series of prints dominated by the structures of light and shadow that create a tension and drama not previously seen in the artist’s work. An essay by art critic and writer Alastair Sooke offers a fresh interpretation of Davenport’s practice.
