MUTINY
JIM THREAPLETON
10 January - 23 February 2020
Extended until 15 July 2020
No 20 Arts is delighted to celebrate its third anniversary by presenting MUTINY, a solo exhibition of new works by Jim Threapleton. Following his last show at the gallery in 2017, the exhibition marks significant development in Threapleton’s ongoing exploration of the abstract mark at the threshold of representation. Featuring 30 works on linen, panel and paper, MUTINY gives title to a series of paintings that testify to the conflict between the artist’s authority and material resistance. Two years after his last show at No 20 Arts, the exhibition MUTINY presents a unique and exciting opportunity to trace the development of an artist who resists the white noise of image, spectacle and ephemera and celebrates the autonomy of paint and the materiality of gesture.
