VON LINTEL - Roger Ackling

Описание: Von Lintel Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition by the English artist
Roger Ackling. For this latest body of work, Ackling continues to draw with
sunlight, marking found wooden objects with burned lines; however, in
this series, he employs empty picture frames, introducing a new focus on
negative space.

For nearly forty years, Roger Ackling (b. 1947, London, England) has
applied precise burn marks to found wooden objects by reflecting
sunlight through a handheld magnifying glass. The quiet repetition of his
patterning is reflective of the meditative and ritualistic quality of the
artist's method.

Ackling has exhibited regularly since 1976 in Europe, Asia, and the United
States. His work is included in numerous public collections, including the
British Museum, the Tate Collection, and the Victoria and Albert Museum
in London; the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, and the Fogg Art Museum,
Boston.

Ackling lives and works in Norfolk, England.
