Edinburgh gallery Hunted Projects is presenting an exhibition by Brooklyn artist Ryan Wallace. Known for his evolving, process-driven practice, Wallace is bringing a new series of paintings and mixed-media pieces to Edinburgh that navigate the terrain between construction and collapse, observation and invention.

Silent Wave continues his exploration of material reuse and continuity of procedure: his studio methodology involves recycling the remnants of past pieces to form foundations for the new, thereby retaining remnants and traces of earlier compositions, along with their associated gestures, accumulated in the seams and inlays and layering, leading to richly-textured, layered and resonant surfaces and underneath. Forming the ridges and subtle troughs are materials such as metallic leaf, stained linen, fibreglass, metallic tape and strokes of oil to form a subtle and dense massing.

Born in 1977, and widely exhibited internationally, Wallace has long been recognised for his abilities in pushing the boundaries of ‘painting’ through intuition and procedure.
