The Same Air

Crux Galerie is pleased to present the solo exhibition of Daniel Sturgis, The Same Air.

“His is neither a defence nor an embrace, but an argument that painting is a detailed and flexible language able to propose ideas and enact provisional answers.” Alison Green, ‘The Indiscipline of Painting’, Tate St Ives, 2011

For this exhibition Sturgis will exhibit paintings from two new series: The Same Air (2023) and Exist in the World (2022) as well as a series of smaller canvases from 2019. Drawn in graphite, and painted by hand in acrylic paint, these meticulously crafted works create an open democratic space, where references from the analogue and digital worlds seem to coexist. While referencing modernist abstract painting and combining strict geometries with a lively coloured palette, his paintings find themselves between the conscious and intuitive, the strict and uplifting, and the orderly and unruly.
