Comprising a new series of coffin-scale paintings, deities carved from soap, and a fully functioning, hand-painted wet room. A MAJOR SOLO EXHIBITION BY BRITISH ARTIST JESSICA WARBOYS Time and landscape, literally embedded in the Sea Paintings, are invoked visually in her films.Ab Ovo (1) (2013) and Ab Ovo (2) (2013) are autonomous films with distinct and intermittent soundtracks, yet operate here as a diptych. Each presents ancient landscapes — standing stones or sandy beaches — as the backdrop for the animation of idiosyncratic yet familiar objects.
