Featured in Lark’s Solo Exhibition “Deep Time” at Assembly Point, Nov 16 - Dec 9.

Excerpt from the exhibition:

Deep time is a geological concept that was introduced a few hundred years ago to help us comprehend the seemingly unimaginable timeline of Earth's existence over the last 4.6 billion years. It is a scope beyond culture, beyond humanity, beyond plants, rocks and air.

In his Deep Time exhibition, Alex Lark features two new series and a sculpture work created in 2023. The Continuum series of stone and neon light sculptures, the Echo series of acrylic, stone shards and dust on canvas paintings and Becoming, a sculpture with sandstone, granite shards, water and glass.

By combining the displaced stone shard and dust material of the Continuum stone sculptures with the black pigment of the Echo paintings, Lark ensures the shared characteristics of the pieces are inseparable - an echo suspended in materiality.

Amazed by the puzzle of creation, the nature of the universe and our intense yet ephemeral humanity, Lark’s work creates space for us to meditate on these physical and philosophical ideas of existence.
