Press Release
GRIMM is pleased to present a solo exhibition of new works by Charles Avery (b. 1973, Oban, Scotland), on view at the New York gallery from February 7 to March 22, 2025. This is the artist’s third exhibition in New York with GRIMM.
The Eidola, Pigs and Blades of the Inner Vast can be read both as an epilogue to his twenty-year project, ‘The Islanders’— a detailed portrayal of the inhabitants, topography, and culture of a fictional island — and an introduction to an entirely new body of work: The Eidolons.
The central theme of this show is, quite literally, the horizon line, a continuum that sears through each painting — the smallest example of which is a few inches wide, the largest, almost eighteen feet in breadth.
For the Islanders the horizon has always held a magnetic attraction. It represents a conundrum: it is visible, yet is constituted of nothing, and so they are drawn to this intangible enigma.
