Christine Ay Tjoe’s solo exhibition ‘Black, kcalB, Black, kcalB’ is currently on view at  White Cube Bermondsey, featuring large-scale oil paintings and drawings on aluminium plates which explore the idea of darkness. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Marking a departure from previous works since they are virtually monochromatic and punctuated only with small smudges of earthy colour, the paintings address the human potential for good and bad and the constant synergy between darkness and light.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
