A
major exhibition of drawing, installation and sound from recent Royal Drawing
School Alumnus Geraint Evans: Edgeland. This is the first solo exhibition from
Evans since completing the postgraduate diploma at the prestigious school where
he now teaches as part of the Drawing Clubs Faculty. For Edgeland, Evans presents a focal installation,
comprising of sculpture and sound with a burnt out car as the central piece:
‘Monolith (horizontal)’. This semi-autobiographical, multi-sensory installation
delves into personal memories of childhood playing in a scrap of woodland that
backed his estate in west Cardiff. The work explores the notion of destruction
as a form of creation and considers what it takes to break the negative social
cycles of estate life. The nowhere bits of scrub-land that lies between where
our cities become more dilute and our countryside begins is where you will find
the Edgelands: spaces as transient, evocative and visceral as memory itself. Many of the drawings are largescale and site
specific, often done entirely from observation. These in situ sessions are
aided by listening to sound while working via headphones plugged into a
microphone, intensifying the sensory connection to the place. Evans’ work is
built around the central concern of the individual’s experience of genius loci,
in both the political and physical geography of place.
