Anisotropy is a spatial property characterised by non-isotropic, non-Euclidean geometry. Conceptually - and visually - it challenges a number of painting’s established canons and re-ignites some of the ideas set in motion by the Russian suprematists in painting, architecture and design. Working alongside a tradition of spatial and geometric assault - both in the gallery and within / without the canvas - Alexandra Kennedy’s Anisotropy is a discombobulating and disorienting experience that embraces anti-gravity, the void and Rem Koolhaas’ notion of ‘architectural nothingness’. The installation succeeds in suggesting an altogether alternate perspective while the sharp end of Kennedy’s painting raises the question: what shall we paint when there is nothing left to paint?
