Lonnie Hutchinson in silhouette



Lonnie Hutchinson's Can you see what I see opened this week at the gallery. The show get its title from one of the show's key works (pictured above with visiting celeb, Carmen).

The work, made from 20mm thick acrylic, seems to cross over into some new ground. We recognise Lonnie's language - the black and white, the silhouette - but here it's has become a screen reminiscent of Islamic architecture. It's a framed view into or out of a window that obscures and reveals...

... and Carmen was the perfect person to show this off.
