Veronica Ryan: Along a Spectrum at Spike Island
Artist Veronica Ryan discusses her major solo exhibition 'Along a Spectrum' at Spike Island, Bristol (19 May to 5 September 2021).
Spike Island presents a major exhibition of new works by British artist Veronica Ryan (b. 1956, Montserrat). Supported by Freelands Foundation through the Freelands Award, this is Ryan’s largest and most ambitious exhibition in the UK to date.
Ryan is best known for her sculpture that is evocative of shapes, forms and objects from the natural world. Over the years, she has experimented with scale, material and technique while remaining focused on the interplay between conflicting opposites: revelation and concealment, container and contained, absence and presence. Her work sits at the intersection between materiality and idea, and enquires into the processes by which objects carry and construct meaning.
The exhibition Veronica Ryan: 'Along a Spectrum' is supported by Freelands Foundation through the Freelands Award.
