Not as cold as one would expect an industrial studio to be, Ross has filled the room with not only incense but also a soundscape, adding a meditational element to the landscaped works on display.ĭespite Ross' deliberate actions in curation that may lead the viewer to a definitive viewpoint, the artist assures that there is nothing to 'get' here. Blots of muddy brown acrylic paint that emulate rust add to Ross' industrial intentions in creating a 'studio which acts as a timeless chamber where you can frequently return to work and ideas'. On one side of the room, canvases are blotted with darker, smokier colours - all of which contrast the lighter hues splashed on the paintings that hang opposite. We know him as an intellectual, so art assumably suits his aesthetic best, yet, the mash-up of ideas and implied meaning seems inherently lost here or - to be frank - too on the nose (it's rather hard to tell). However, despite the relatively simple nature of the work pulled together by an incense-filled atmosphere, Ross' explanation to the press was less straightforward. ![]()
