The surface doesn’t settle. Layer after layer of horizontal mark — acrylic building rhythm until the whole thing starts to move. You don’t read it. You fall into it.

At home with. AC. A NEW grey display of mostly useless objects inspired by a new bowl from Madame Agnes. . I’m not sure why I’m compelled to match things, but it gives me a bit of pleasure - actually a lot. The flocked twig is art made by @duncanmacaskillstudio.

Vigo Gallery is proud to present CRISPR - Duncan MacAskill’s fourth solo show with the gallery, in celebration of his eightieth birthday.
The exhibition presents works predominantly from 2019 to the present day taken from his ongoing DNA Paintings series that lies at the core of his practice. CRISPR - “Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats” - refers to contemporary gene-editing technology.
In a world and ‘art world’ that feels ever more commodified and packaged, Duncan MacAskill stands out as an artist who, throughout his long career, has always made art with a pure spirit of playfulness and unbounded creativity. This essential quality of Duncan’s work is, in fact, inescapable to anyone who has: met him; visited his studio, itself a Tardis-like, ever-morphing, work-in-progress; been lucky enough to be a recipient of his infamous mail art (many of which are in the Tate collection); or who have followed Duncan on Instagram for any length of time (if you don’t, you should: @duncanmacaskillstudio). #duncanmackaskillstudio #duncanmacaskill #vigogallery #vigo #wellingtonarch #apsleyhouse #englishheritage #wellington #dna
