About Turn: Newfoundland in Venice, Will Gill & Peter Wilkins presents new bodies of work by Will Gill and Peter Wilkins, contemporary artists based in Newfoundland, Canada.
The exhibition is spurred by complementary explorations of mundane narratives.
The work, which spans video, photography, and painting, deftly plays within the boundaries of abstraction and narrative; the recognizable and the intangible.
Gill’s works blend a feigned naïveté with formal control, lifted from family life and fleeting dreams. Wilkins’ images bridge the art historical and contemporary, employing subtle, distilled abstractions of duration and form.
