TWFINEART are pleased to announce their next showing, ‘In the Balance’ by Kimberly Rowe and Paul Owen Weiner.

The exhibition will be open to the public from Thursday 19 January, with VIP/private tours hosted by the artists available until Sunday 24 January – bookings are essential.

Paul Weiner’s work makes reference to the 2012 Aurora theatre shooting, which occurred in the same community where he grew up and lived at the time of the massacre. The paintings reference the redacted court documents that followed the shooting, their compositions directly lifted from the blacked out and censored court documents. Since the trial, the paintings have metaphorically evolved to comment on the violence that now dominates the US media. In the studio, his technique is unique in the respect that the beats his artworks until they are blemished and bruised – the paintings explore uncharted territory for the sublime, they are flat and minimal, yet dirty and violent.

In response to Paul, Kimberly Rowe creates virtually weightless, almost transparent paintings that are complimentary to Paul’s work. Each of her paintings is an evolution or expansion of an idea spawned between imagining and doing. She works on the floor and incorporates, residue from previous projects, dust, dirt and pigment from her surroundings. The paintings reveal an ability to be not only light and airy, but double-sided, demonstrating a culmination of Rowe’s years long conceptual investigation.

The official opening night is Sunday 24 January and will be the perfect opportunity to get up close and personal with the artworks and artists… Mark the date in your calendar!
