The event will include an In-Conversation between Marion Harrison from HPAC and our artist Julia McKinlay plus DJ set from Speede Bump.

HPAC is delighted to announce our next exhibition at our loved home @hydeparkbookclub which will open with an artist in conversation with Julia McKinlay and Curator Marion Harrison and a set by DJ Speed Bump.

‘Slip Across These Planes’ will be a solo presentation of works by Leeds based artist @Julia_McKinlay.

McKinlay’s practice is a process of discovering a language of sculptural forms. Her work explores the boundaries of the human made in relation to organic and lithic matter. McKinlay’s practice is spatial, she is interested in how objects and images interact in space and form connections with the viewer, sometimes creating imagined worlds for the viewer to explore.

For McKinlay’s solo presentation here at Hyde Park Art Club, work shifts away from external subject matter towards capturing specific shapes colours and forms that linger in the artists mind.

‘These forms are a language specific to my practice and my way of processing of the world as I experience it, a conglomeration of moments concretised into something solid’

This new collection of bold printed and drawn matter responds to materials and offers a bodily utterance that can be felt as well as seen. An embodied articulation of McKinlay’s inner visual language which, seeks to interact and form further connections with the viewer and the space in which they are presented.

‘In ’Slip Across These Planes ‘ I am presenting a group of new drawings and prints, working principally with paper, pigments and sheet material to explore shape, surface, weight and colour. The artworks will explore the narrow spatial field of flat materials and how they can be cut, embossed, incised and polished into something that feels absolute.’
