\nExhibition on view until Saturday 3 June 2017
\nLocation: Danielle Arnaud, 123 Kennington Road, London SE11 6SF UK<\/p>\n
Eyal Sasson and Abraham Kritzman both use long walking voyages as point of departure for their practices. Sasson and Kritzman\u2019s walks are means for encounters, with nature as well as with culture. Rather than the traditional model of immobile painting through observation, they gather their experiences in motion. Kritzman will exhibit monochrome pencil drawings, diluted oil paintings, woodcut prints and plaster sculptures. Sasson will exhibit, for the first time, 3D versions of his paintings, in the form of blown-up pop-ups made of paper cutouts. The joint display of these works will offer two parallel formal painterly axes, which follow different levels of saturation, perspectives and trajectories.<\/p>\n
