LAMB is pleased to present Textured, a group exhibition spanning forty years of practice, which explores how various artists engage with the materiality of surfaces. The exhibition brings together works that resist the conventional preparation or priming of the surface, instead favoring direct engagement with raw canvas and untreated materials. These works embrace natural textures, allowing organic processes, such as absorption, staining, and wear, to shape and define the composition. Rather than aiming for a polished or controlled result, the artists let their distinct materials guide the work, bringing attention to tactile and textured properties. Each of the selected artists brings a distinct material approach, yet all converge in their attention to the physical and sensory potential of their works.
