Primal patterns of a seemingly chaotic world come to the surface in sculpture

– New Statesman

This extensive exhibition brought together new and recent sculpture and works on paper by one of Britain’s foremost artists Peter Randall-Page.

The artist used the large spaces of the Underground Gallery as a catalyst and platform for an ambitious range of work which has extended his practice and given expression to ideas developed over many years. New pieces included a striking, innovative series of wall works in fired clay based on geometry and symmetry, and two monumental Kilkenny limestone carvings.

All aspects of Randall-Page’s practice were represented in this exhibition, including his working processes through the display of maquettes and models in the Project Space. The Garden Gallery featured small-scale objects and works on paper, with the lawns around the Underground Gallery framing a wonderful range of large-scale sculptures.

Randall-Page’s work is informed at every turn by a lifelong study of organic form. Nature’s myriad complexities are a source of ongoing fascination to him, from the underlying mathematical principles that drive life and growth to the incredible patterns and forms found in the natural world.

An intelligent and astute artist, Randall-Page references music, ancient artefacts, science, mathematics, geometry, botany; he has an insatiable appetite for knowledge and a longing to investigate the minutiae of the world around him.
