Gina Cross & Christine Wilkinson Exhibition
Duo
An exhibition featuring abstract artists Gina Cross and Christine Wilkinson
4 September to 2 October
This collaborative show ‘Duo’ highlights the distinct but complementary styles of two
abstract artists, showcasing Gina Cross’s colourful prints and original works on copper
alongside Christine Wilkinson’s refined, colourful abstractions.
‘Duo’ invites viewers to explore the interplay between colour, form, and texture, offering a
unique visual conversation that reflects the two artists’ viewpoints.
Gina Cross is a London-based multidisciplinary artist whose work investigates the
relationships between shape, colour, space and light. Her current artistic practice spans
a diverse range of materials and methods, including metal, paper, photography, and
digital processes. Gina describes her ongoing work as an effort to “join the dots,”
reflecting her continuous exploration and study of contemporary art history.
Christine Wilkinson’s practice utilises an iterative process where artworks lead and flow
into each other. Colour is core to Christine’s work moving from the more subtle and
serene to the vibrant and impactful. Her work blurs the boundaries between photography
and painting. Light becomes form. Form without substance, existing only as an instance
of colour and light. It begins with a photograph or a fragment of a photograph – car
headlights maybe or sunlight streaming through a window. It’s a starting point, a process,
reducing the image simply to random pixels to be used as raw material. Then it’s about
finding the subject matter
