IN THE HIVE

An experimental approach to painting, using landscapes and assembled graphics, and pushing them into dissolution; testing their potentials and testing the techniques applied. Picking through art history and mass media and observation for objects to flatten and obscure. Messing with perspective and dimensions, and exploring the poetics of texture. All works are on paper.

Private viewing Friday 24th February, 5.00 to 9.00pm

Varney studied Culture and Media in Bristol, moved to London and took a keen interest in drawing, worked with dancers and theatre makers and moved on to teaching drawing for a spell. He has lived in Cambridge for nine years now, enjoying the landscapes, medieval paintings and poetry of the area.
