Exhibitions and arrivals

• STEVE DILWORTH | five new objects

  energy, power and craftsmanship 3 Jul 2020 ‘The earliest forms of art in clay and on cave walls were tactile and born of ritual. Steve Dilworth’s art taps into that primacy of touch, in how we make sense of the world as human beings and how we relate to nature. The point of ignition in all of Dilworth’s objects is the raw energy of material. This vital, originary spark is held inside the object, like a battery that creatively lights the world.’ Georgina Coburn, June 2020 Kilmorack Gallery is pleased to share with you five new works from one of the UK’s most exciting and ground-breaking artists.
