Rainbow Straightener

Rod Barton Invites, London

Rod Barton Invites presents its third group exhibition Rainbow Straightener exhibiting three artists concentrating on the materialistic values of paint. Each artist utilizes the qualities of the medium to produce strong visually interesting work. Each artist is heavily involved in process driven painting:

Shane Bradford, is exhibiting two of his well-known magazine paint dripped works, Vogue, May 2006 British Edition, model Natalia Vodianova, beautiful, sexy, comical and dame right just gorgeous. Bradford has taken an already iconic magazine, a beautiful image and made it his own by graphically enhancing it, who needs air brushing?

Andrew Ekins works set out to investigate a dialogue between the sublime, the abject, and contemporary notions of beauty, the core subject is the luster of human presence and the landscape of the human condition. Ekins is exhibiting a new work of towering tin cans with mountainous, reversed stalactites of paint; show casing his compelling fetishistic processes of making.

Piers Secunda, focuses on the manipulation of paint, constructing vertical layered collage, and abstract imagery entirely in paint. Using the materials quality of solidifying in to pieces; parts to a puzzle that interlock, forms and shapes, giving Secunda a language of his own.

Rod Barton Invites set up in early 2007 for the purpose of showcasing British and international contemporary art focusing primarily on contemporary abstract painting across the generations. The gallery program will include regular solo, group exhibitions and off-site projects. For the last 3 years Roderick Barton (Gallery Director) has been independently curating contemporary art exhibitions in and around London.
