Colourless Green Ideas
Lost Arch
Newcastle Upon Tyne
23 & 24 July 2016
‘Colourless Green Ideas’ brought together previously unseen drawings by artist Ross Hamilton Frew alongside a new body of collage, ceramics and haiku presented on some accompanying structures.
The exhibition’s title refers to a Noam Chomsky sentence written to be both grammatically correct and semantically nonsensical. This reflects Frew’s attempts to expand on his established drawing practice by incorporating more recent explorations into collage and ceramics. There are elements of experimentation within these new ways of working, which has resulted in a more sculptural output than is typical in his practice.
Featured haiku:
to the hip new moon
it is easy and tempting
to think at the sun
in the dusty loft
queer morbid intense colour
brim the dusk shadow
