Cathy's Art Diary

Fun exhibition at the Bernard Jacobson Gallery of new work by Marc Vaux. These works are bright, geometric abstract works either flat or 3D in design. Of the flat ones   I Iiked the big squares with rainbow edges like the one shown here. I love the way you see more colour if you view them from the side. They feel like a cheerful Black Square! I loved the low reliefs which are mounted on a circular hanging devise so they can be turned around so there unlimited ways to view the work however my favourite were the more 3D ones which intersected ovals and trapeze shapes in bright colours. Again they look different from different angles and reminded me of a 3D version a Dora Maar as shown recently at Tate Modern. Closes 4 January 2020

Interesting exhibition at the Bernard Jacobson Gallery of work by Marc Vaux, from the last 30 years. The show consisted of wall constructions and sculptures. The works were quite minimal but made great use of colour. They changed as you walked round them and the light and shadow fell on them in different ways. Some had a feel of 3 dimensional Mondrian’s with the colour along the end of white strips. There were also nice minimal sketches for the finished work. Closed on 21 December 2017
