Cross Lane Projects is pleased to present ‘Colour, Light, Sound, Silence’ a two person exhibition by artists Marcus Vergette and Simon Marsh, featuring painting, sculpture and bells.
Marcus Vergette and Simon Marsh met in 1980 on the Fine Art Painting course at Central School of Art & Design in London and have been friends ever since. In the intervening years both artists have continued their practice; Vergette’s focus developed to explore sculpture and sound, Marsh became a printmaker and has recently been exploring stained glass and experimental forms.
Texture and the trace of the hand(made) is important to them both. This exhibition in Kendal is their first show together and their work can be considered in the context of their long association. As artists they explore the elemental and emotional qualities of light and sound, forms of energy that move as waves of different speeds, through which we experience the world. Both light and sound can be reflected and refracted, observed and invented, as they are in the works on display.
