Paul Edmunds




Pitch: Paul Edmunds' American debut solo exhibition
Born in 1970, in Johannesburg. Currently lives in Cape Town, South Africa.

RH Gallery is pleased to present the American debut solo exhibition, Pitch for South African artist Paul Edmunds. Edmunds' latest works are a collection of abstract pencil drawings and a sculpture. Edmunds uses line or edge to explore visual correspondents for music and its constituent parts resulting in intricate labyrinthine abstractions that relate to pitch, tone, timbre and stereo. This series has roots tracing back to Kandinsky whose practice was centered on a process of abstraction, which relied heavily on concepts borrowed from musical theory. The works vary little in scale and are largely monochromatic, affording an undistracted experience of limited variables. While each piece is carefully planned and executed, the lines also perform on their own: they cross, congregate and avoid each other in unpredictable ways. Edmunds lives and works in Cape Town, South Africa. Born in 1970, Edmunds has exhibited extensively in South Africa since graduating from the University of Natal, Pietermaritzburg in 1995. Edmunds has had solo exhibitions at Michael Stevenson Gallery, Cape Town; João Ferreira Gallery, Cape Town; The Mark Coetzee Fine Art Cabinet, Cape Town; NSA Gallery, Durban and the Cité Internationale des Arts, Paris. Group shows include Impressions from South Africa, 1965 to Now at the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Production Marks: Geometry, psychology and the electronic age, National Arts Festival at the Goethe-Institut, Johannesburg and Exhibition of Cape Town artists, Canberra Institute of Art, Canberra, Australia. Edmunds work is represented in numerous prestigious collections including the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Carnegie Art Gallery, Newcastle, UK; Gencor Collection, South Africa and Sasol Art Collection, South Africa.
