The Eye Touch presents the works of emerging artists Rhys Cousins and Emma x Zhang. This showcase features a vibrant array of multi and mixed-media works, including plaster and canvas paintings, projection-sculpture and floor furnishings; all exploring the intricate interplay between colour and texture.
Rhys Cousins critically examines our perceptions of digital interfaces and urban landscapes, provoking thoughts about the impact of technology on our everyday lives. His work investigates the haptic possibilities of an increasingly digital existence.
Emma x Zhang portrays ethereal realms through abstract forms in iridescent-pastel colour palettes. She merges traditional techniques and digital image processes in an attempt to offer refuge from the relentless glow of digital screens.
For this exhibition, Cousins and Zhang have collaborated on a projection-sculpture that embodies a passion for exploring perceived “dichotomies” of the visual and tactile.
