This exhibition draws together eight contemporary artists who set up frameworks that they then almost perversely go on to work against. Yvonne Hindle – whose Enceladus, acrylic on canvas, is pictured here – creates her elaborate and almost baroque semi-abstracts by meticulously building up layer upon layer of slimy wet-into-wet paint.
