Richard Byers – Visual Rhythms

explorations of structure, line and light
solo exhibition running from September 17, 2009 – October 8, 2009.

at Gallery RIPA FRIES,
Gormannstr. 16, Berlin Mitte

A successful opening night!. There were many great discussions and thoughts surrounding my works. It was inspiring and encouraging to be amongst you all. A special thank you to Sonja and Marc.

I am very excited to announce my solo exhibition in Berlin.
Visual Rhythms opens on the 17th September and the exhibition continues till the 8th October.
It is being held at RIPA.FRIES in Mitte Berlin, a jewellery studio, shop and art gallery.

Visual Rhythms will present a selection of work I have been producing in Berlin at Rooftop Studios, focused on scultural structures made from timber, paper and projected light. The projected light is interactive either with audio or camera, and will react and reflection people in the gallery. There will also be some additional works on canvas with ink linework and projected light and various sketches on paper showing the process of the developing the more finished works.

There will hopefully be a webcast of the opening for those unable to be in Berlin. more info to follow regarding this.

I would like to thank Sonja Fries and On-yau for making this possible, you’re encouragement was inspirational in helping me realise this dream
