Recent works by Robert Currie and Simon Haddock

Vertigo Gallery brings together two artists whose work explores depth beyond the usual illusory shading of colour and concentrates on the pressure and skill of the artist's hand.

Currie's approach is controlled, and his execution obsessive. Images and scenes evolve from his repetitious technique, either random or carefully precise. His drawings present to the observer a gentle process of discovery. Close inspection allows an understanding that the image before them is one of meticulously observed pencil lines where the pressure is varied to achieve light and shade.

In Haddock's work, there is the exploration of process and layer. Taking the hard surfaces such as wood or MDF, and sandwiching them with paint, Haddock presses layer upon layer before finally grinding back certain sections. This is achieved through drilling and routing, a process which ultimately exposes lost, almost forgotten layers and creates an intriguing and complex final image.
