Empty Houses on the Coast
Seun's paintings are deep multidimensional structures containing dark hidden corners full of shadowy secrets and improbable transpositions of time and space. The links are often tentative, though clearly recognisable references to an external world. We are not sure which world, or where, if it is one world or many. It is certainly familiar, but it is not clear.
Using acrylic and metallic paint on black paper, Seun re-assembles the fragments of time space and memory that she has gathered from the shoreline, and imprisons the complex, intriguing organic shards within razor sharp geometric boundaries that somehow tell us they are all safely contained and that while they cannot escape, we can enter. We are drawn in to the structures and we find ourselves surrounded by floors made of ice, windows through which we can see a raging sea by moonlight and where, menacingly, the sea itself is advancing in to the room and we are really standing on a beach. Perhaps we are trying to climb an impossible staircase? We glimpse shadowy figures in the corners of rooms. Is that someone trying to escape? We can call them houses, but they could be cages or cells.
Stepping back we understand that by some sleight of hand, time has been imprisoned and neutralised within these structures. We become part of another world, dynamic and shifting. An other-worldly non-linear time and space where the elements are drawn together, assembled and given meaning not by gravity, but by a different force. We are no longer observing a two dimensional space from the outside, but have become active participants in a non-static multi-faceted ‘space’ where gravity has been suspended.
Viewed individually, or in combination, the paintings make me think of a film or animation. Within film we know rationally that time and space are strictly metaphorical and not at all representational, but when those many single frames are assembled and viewed together they create the powerful illusion of having witnessed an 'event', no matter how unlikely or improbable that event might be. 'Empty Houses on the Coast' leaves me with exactly that sensation of having witnessed the improbable come to life.
