Artist: Charles March

Hamiltons Gallery, London presents new work by British photographer Charles March. Titled Sandscript, the exhibition showcases a body of work that continues March’s journey into abstraction, through images captured along the shoreline.

The exhibition presents a new series of minimalist photographs, each the result of patient observation. March captures shadows, lines and textures that become meditations on the natural world, where sea grass, fragments and fleeting marks on sand appear as calligraphic inscriptions, soon erased by the tide or blown away by the wind. Moving towards abstraction, the works recall the fluid brushwork of Chinese ink painting. Rather than expansive landscapes, they are intimate studies, closer to sketches or drawings.
