Daniel Crews-Chubb: The Belt of Venus
The Belt of Venus brings together six new, monumental paintings by Daniel Crews-Chubb. The exhibition takes its title from the atmospheric phenomenon visible shortly before sunrise or after sunset, an ethereal pinkish band that separates the earth’s dark shadow from the brightening sky. This distinct afterglow serves as the direct inspiration for the artist’s colour palette. It permeates the exhibition, radiating within the gallery space and uniting the works through hues that feel simultaneously celestial and heavily grounded in the flesh. Within this atmospheric glow, Daniel extends his career-long interrogation of the human form into increasingly abstract territory, deliberately testing the limits of our perception.
