Exhibition views from ‘In the Seams’, a solo exhibition of works by Søren Arildsen.

“I believe there are certain moments that take hold of you; it might not be clear
to you in the moment, but your subconscious has already bookmarked it. And it returns to you like a midnight tide, washing over you and pulling you back out.”

The exhibition continues until 25 April and the gallery is open 11am–6pm, Monday to Friday.

In the Seams, the first UK solo exhibition of work by Søren Arildsen opens this evening, Wednesday 26 March, 6–8pm.

To mark the opening, Plaster is releasing a limited edition run of t-shirts in collaboration with the artist.

The show features a new series of oil paintings on canvas set in artist-made porcelain frames, as well as ceramic paintings mounted in treated wood.

Arildsen’s work explores how memories take shape, blending reality with recollection and daydreams. While rooted in figuration, his use of materials and process creates a shifting quality, as if the images are drifting in and out of focus, leading the viewer to somewhere between the real and the imagined.

pastel, porcelain frame. 71 x 101 cm.

Nature Morte, curated by Pieter-Jan De Paepe continues until 14 March.

“Still-life, I have written elsewhere, consists of objects that, whether artificial or natural, are subordinate to man as elements of use, manipulation and enjoyment; these objects are smaller than ourselves, within arm’s reach, and owe their presence and place to a human action, a purpose. They convey man’s sense of his power over things in making or utilizing them; they are instruments as well as products of his skills, his thoughts and appetites. While favored by an art that celebrates the visual as such, they appeal to all the senses and especially to touch and taste. They are the themes par excellence of an empirical standpoint wherein our knowledge of proximate objects, and especially of the instrumental, is the model or ground of all knowledge. It is in this sense that the American philosopher, George H. Mead, has said: “The reality of what we see is what we can handle.” – Meyer Schapiro
