Redux to Present “Only Once in the Light” Exhibition by Sardine Press

Published

Redux Contemporary Art Center will next month present “Only Once in the Light,” a joint exhibition from Charleston based artists Leigh Sabisch and Allison Koch, exhibiting as Sardine Press. Redux says this new exhibition “showcases the ongoing creative endeavors of the artists in their personal practices and as a pair, who merge their energetic & multidisciplinary approach by combining oil painting and printmaking techniques that evolve into truly collaborative work.”

The artists state:

“As a team, we have found a way to incorporate the practices and themes of our individual work into a larger scope of collaborative making. As printmakers, we want to push our understanding of such a traditional medium as well as investigate how we can adapt to challenges we face through creating experimental pieces.”

“Only Once in the Light” is the result of the pair looking back on previous bodies of work and noting how they individually incorporate the effects of light. Their varying perceptions of light opened both artists up to the pleasure and complexities of communicating abstract ideas and translating them into a cohesive, physical, shared experience.

Sabisch paints masses of twisted limbs which are layered with tonality and depth, highlighting the way light reflects on the figures. Koch plays with iridescence to refract light using gloss finishes. The exhibition results in a cohesive body of work that celebrates Sardine Press’s continued experimentation in collaboration. In addition to the six-week exhibition, the pair will host related programming & a printing making workshop for the public.

Redux Contemporary Art Center is located at 1056 King Street. You can learn more at reduxstudios.org/learn.
