Waddington Custot is pleased to present Edges of Perception, a group exhibition featuring paintings, sculptures, and photographs by international contemporary artists including Kenia Almaraz Murillo, Nick Brandt, Ian Davenport, Hubert Le Gall, Umberto Mariani, Landon Metz, Marc Quinn, Arnaud Rivieren, Tomás Saraceno, Sophia Vari, Fabienne Verdier, and Bernar Venet.
The exhibition explores the subtle and striking contrasts that shape how we see and experience art. Through material, form, colour, and sensation, the works invite viewers to encounter spaces where differences converge, challenge, and illuminate one another.
A central focus is Fabienne Verdier, whose dynamic canvases, from Débordant des choses indicibles (2023) to earlier works from Voyage d’hiver (2016), capture painting as pure energy suspended between control and release. Umberto Mariani transforms the density of lead into lyrical folds, while Nick Brandt’s poignant wildlife portraits stage a dialogue between monumental presence and ecological fragility.
Other highlights include Ian Davenport’s vibrant cascades of poured colour, Landon Metz’s meditative washes, and Arnaud Rivieren’s monumental steel sculpture, countered by the aerial lightness of Tomás Saraceno’s webs. The neon-threaded assemblages of Kenia Almaraz Murillo reimagine ancestral narratives, while the sculptural languages of Sophia Vari and Hubert Le Gall combine metal, glass, and organic form.
Completing the exhibition, Bernar Venet’s Indeterminate Line embodies the paradox of structure and instability, resonating with the show’s central theme.
Edges of Perception is a reflection on thresholds—where contrast is not opposition, but a fertile ground for new ways of seeing.
