Lyndsey Ingram is delighted to present Language of Line; an exhibition which brings together three contemporary female painters, Tanya Ling (b. Calcutta, 1966), Aimée Parrott (b. UK, 1987) and Elliott Puckette (b. USA, 1967). These artists approach ideas around linear mark-making in similar and conflicting ways. It is the first time that all the artists have shown together at Lyndsey Ingram and marks their individual debuts at the gallery.
Whilst being an exhibition focused on painting in the traditional sense, the show includes elements of printmaking, collage, needlework, carving and drawing, demonstrating how these artists push the boundaries of two-dimensional work. Drawing on the historical importance of figures like Helen Frankenthaler and Lee Krasner, the artists balance a spontaneous approach to applying marks with complex narratives and personal experience. An emphasis on linear marking-making unites Ling, Parrott and Puckette in their respective practices.
