In the project space Brian Belott presents a selection of his signature collage books that function as a refreshing complement to Cass’ paintings due to their rawness and playful seriousness. Belott has created a three-tiered display resembling a cartoon-like tree, which will house books of increasing scale from top to bottom. Each series of books will be a study of some painterly technique; drops, drips and dabs which can be read as characters in a larger aesthetic alphabet which Cass employs in his paintings. Belott and Cass became friends and collaborators while classmates at art school and this exhibition underlines the parallels between process and sensibility that run throughout both of their work.
