London.- The Wyer Gallery is pleased to present “Mark Thompson, New Paintings” on view at the gallery from October 1st through November 18th. Be it the edge of a village, the turning point of a river, or an empty city corner the moment before its streetlights flicker to life, Mark Thompson’s work depicts many things, but it is a preoccupation with moments of instability, of change and of boundaries between states such as certainty and doubt that is central to his practice.  The paintings exhibited here, in Thompson’s first exhibition with Wyer, are recollections of just such intangible moments.  They are pockets of time experienced on his lonesome travels across remote Icelandic, Scandinavian and Alaskan wildernesses and, through the alchemic power of the artist’s imagination – and of course the artist’s brush – made material on canvas.
