Michael van Ofen - For his second solo exhibition in London, Michael van Ofen has created a new body of oils premised on paintings from the Nineteenth Century. Using these works as his 'found objects', he dissects the remains of a practice that was poised between the invention of photography and the advent of Modernism. Through his unique visual language of considered, precisely-sculpted brushstrokes, Van Ofen knowingly uses the limitations of these 'objects' as starting points for his own meticulous reinvention. Van Ofen's paintings are constructed through a wet-on-wet technique, allowing for constant re-working on the canvas and giving them a translucency that lends his subjects a candescent aura. He rejects the gestural or fetishistic approaches of modernist mark making for a more inquisitive approach, in which he revisits historical devices - ranging from genre clichés to sombre palettes and dramatic compositions - to create powerful, stripped-down paintings, in a completely new context. From 13 April until 19 May.
Saul Fletcher - From 25 May until 23 June.
