Jessica Warboys: Village Gate

17. November 2021 – 15. Januar 2022

Galerie Noah Klink is pleased to present VILLAGE GATE, the first solo exhibition of Jessica Warboys in Berlin. Comprising
paintings, video and sculptural objects, the exhibition is a testimony to the artist’s interest in the liminal both sculpturally
and geographically.
VILLAGE GATE comprises two large-scale un-stretched River Paintings (2019 – ongoing), a format taking its departure
from the artist’s Sea Paintings (2009 – ongoing). Warboys thereby introduces the river and its littoral, i.e. the part between
the river and its bank, as a site for making. In the process, canvas is submerged in the river and then swept and scattered
with mineral pigments. River Painting, Ouse, 2019 has been painted with beeswax, repelling both the river water and the
potential staining of pigment, ultimately revealing a serpentine wax line that gradually fades as the painting traverses the
space.
