Slip Terrace by Andrew Rucklidge – Vernissage

Galerie Old Chelsea is thrilled to present a series of new paintings by Andrew Rucklidge, an internationally recognized artist now living in Chelsea.  The exhibition captures the invisible yet deeply familiar forces that shape the earth over time as Rucklidge draws on processes such as erosion, sedimentation, metamorphism, volcanic eruptions, exposed faults, and slipping terraces.

Andrew Rucklidge’s practice is rooted in an exploration of the planet’s internal gestures—subtle, powerful movements translated into paint through a deeply material and process-driven approach. Working with ancient and traditional media including egg tempera, distemper, watercolour, handmade inks, encaustic, and sun-thickened linseed oil, he constructs surfaces that echo the layered complexity of geological formations.
