Sarah Roberts & Mark Jackson in conversation with Paul O'Kane

On Friday 28th April Sarah Roberts and Mark Jackson will be in conversation with artist, writer and lecturer Paul O'Kane. The conversation will begin promptly at 6:30 pm.

No booking required.

Torremolinos-Tableaux-Tongue-Twister (After Sun) by Sarah Roberts and Face Is The Closest by Mark Jackson are now open and will run until 6th May.

Torremolinos-Tableaux-Tongue-Twister (After Sun) is Sarah Roberts' largest and most ambitious installation to date.
On entering the gallery, the viewer is invited to investigate an environment of red excess. Two tons of ruddy gravel spilled like a failing fat tongue stretches out through the space. Hand-cast plaster pieces, found objects, glass, rubber and glitter are nonsensical material utterances, and large-format images of everyday surfaces have been smoothed over the existing gallery walls and floors. In creating these landscapes, vistas or reflexive objects, Roberts wants us to consider the reality of our constructed surfaces and how they inform the narratives we create.
She terms this approach, ‘a casual politic’ that instead of ‘shouting the odds’ – creates a vantage point from which to gaze out onto the terror and appetite of our newly made realities.

Block 336 is also pleased to present Face Is The Closest the first solo exhibition of paintings by London-based artist, Mark Jackson.
In his intensely complex and multi-layered oil paintings, Jackson explores the many qualities of the lone human subject.
Broadly inspired by the history of figure painting, his distinctive personal vision re-situates the human form in a new imaginary realm, presenting us with a series of intense and meticulously rendered portraits.
