Some more art news and a European collaboration for you all to witness! Recoat Gallery presents Italy's Moneyless and Scotland's Mark Lyken "Forms and Spaces". These artists have teamed up to produce a body of work consisting of collaborative paintings, sculptures and interventions in and around Glasgow. Why not hunt around and see if you can spot them for yourself?

The duo visited disused and abandoned spaces around the city, engaging and interacting with the sites; 

Moneyless’s precise lines overlaying order on Lyken's chaotic universes. Their pieces toy with our imagination,

what is an existing mark, what has been added,

what is flat, what is sculptural, 

do these pieces show us something vast or microscopic, inner or outer worlds? 

 

The second part of the project will take place in Italy in October.

 

These pieces are pretty interesting and the abstract nature of the work leaves the task of interpretation up to the unsuspecting viewer that stumbles upon them. The duo interacting and manipulating the abandoned physcial habitat on a large scale is pretty inspiring and it's unusual to see 2 artists with such distinct methods that work so well when combined together. I really like how the precise geometric line work of Moneyless marries with the bacterial colorwork of Mark Lyken, not only that but the pieces contrast and sit so well in their abandoned environments that they're almost like portals.
