Milton Keynes Gallery presents the first solo exhibition in a British public gallery by the Californian-based artist Pae White.
Her artistic practice shifts effortlessly across differing genres and media, from fine art and product design to urban planning and architecture, typography and graphics, and this will be reflected in her new and recent work at MK G.
White’s work is often low-tech, comprised, for instance, of repeatedly made cardboard
cut-outs, delicate wire constructions, suspended mobiles or evocative ephemeral wall paintings made direct onto the building’s surface. Central to her work is the playful exploration of space and light within a specific architectural setting, resulting in a visually engaging experience.
White’s paper-cut mobiles, such as Chartwell, (2002), are of particular note. Cascading from scores of nylon threads, these brightly coloured cardboard shapes perceptually flicker and tantalise the viewer. There is an in-built responsiveness to the conditions of the gallery space, either through the refraction of light or the disruption of air as the viewer walks by.
