Open by appointment.
For Free the Innovator, a series of geometric paintings present a group of characters whose emotional reactions are framed through the net of a box.
The cardboard box has been partly flattened. Now, instead of looking at the contents inside, the individuals stare straight through. Everything everywhere.
Theo Christy is an artist based in Glasgow. Recent exhibitions include: Charity at David Dale (with Gregor Horne), David Dale Gallery (2024), Would you be worried if one of these Scottish people ceased to exist?, Govan Project Space (2024) and Sick of it, Charity (2023).
