I attended KR Pomeroy's 'No Commercial Potential' Exhibition opening in Norwich on Tuesday evening. The Stew hosted the exhibition of work covering KR's deconstruction period - an amazing exhibition space, which is the perfect location for the spacial surprises of KR Pomeroy's work.
Imagine, the two dimensional illusion of painting begins to literally 'break out' into three dimensions. This is one aspect of Pomeroy's work: canvases are pushed and pulled into three dimensional relief; canvases cut from and around their frames; pictures escaping their stretchers; and the third panel of a triptych literally breaking in half as it falls from the white cube wall.
I think the "No Commercial Potential" tag is a quote from Frank Zappa, who is an inspiration to KR.
Pomeroy's work requires space to engage its audience. The Stew Exhibition has provided the artist with the opportunity to break from the linear aspect of the flat surface of painting to explore the spatial reality beyond vertical surfaces. A great exhibition - bulging with potential. Visit the artist's website to catch up with his work...
