Drawing Projects UK is delighted to present a Drawing Discussion with George Meyrick in association with his solo exhibition, Shaped Space, on Saturday 21 September at 4pm.

George Meyrick uses simple geometric forms to create an uncertain visual experience where shapes can be read as linear, planar or solid. Elements may appear to exist in one plane but then enter into another. Other resolutions are an important part of the viewer’s experience. What is visible is incomplete and only finished in the imagination, discovered rather than invented.

Meyrick's solo exhibition at Drawing Projects UK uses the positive and negative corners of the walls as the location for structures and drawings that play with colour, illusion and form in response to the architectural features of the building. These site-specific drawings incorporate the architectural spaces of Drawing Projects UK and its heritage setting, the former Wiltshire Working Men's Conservative Benefit Society's purpose-built Holloway House that opened in 1929.

George Meyrick (b.1953, London) studied at St Martins School of Art, Brighton Polytechnic and Chelsea School of Art. He has an extensive exhibiting career in the UK and Europe, and his work is held in the collections of The Arts Council of England, Arthur Anderson & Co, The British Council, Henry Moore Institute, London and Continental Bankers Ltd, Mondriaanhuis, and Middlesborough Institute of Modern Art.

The Drawing Discussion will be introduced and chaired by Professor Anita Taylor. Advance booking recommended, tickets available here.

Exhibition opening hours are: Thursdays to Saturdays from 10am to 4pm, and Sundays from 11am to 2pm from 1 September 2019 to 5 October 2019.
