Both these abstract painters make surfaces that ebb and flow in and out of mark and mechanic, assuming then subsuming states of being, becoming and beyond, at times announcing paint in dialects geological, biological and even otherworldly. Like Issa’s haiku, their chosen media may be simple and some if its application may be direct, but their orchestration of it – and the many tributaries of meanings that flow from such arrangements – is deeply textured. Out of less flows more: a sophistication etched across Horberry and Kudi’s painted surfaces that touches on the untouchable, elevates everyday experience into the temples of myth and element, and which seeks to distil moments of miasma into matter as these two painters revel in their achingly beautiful worlds of dew.
