Having Heard a Glow – Lewis Vivian Cosgrave

Twentysix is pleased to announce its first solo exhibition with Lewis Vivian Cosgrave (Ngāti Pūkenga, b.1997) whose work is primarily focused on experiences of the quotidian. It is the everyday—a frame caught while falling. Cropped into a leg mid step, a backyard blurred behind—a moment that becomes a memory. Intimate and undefined.

Cosgrave’s practice captures transitory moments—life found along concrete pavements, in the backseat of a car, in glimpses of inner city gardens, blending painting, drawing and photographic practices. Through a refined sense of surface and delicate use of colour, Cosgrave brings an intentional reticence to his work—altering collected and personal archive imagery through saturation, erasure and muddying. Arriving eventually to a space that grants us momentary reflection on our everyday—on the mundanity and transience that surrounds us.
A short story by Lucy Clara accompanies the show.
