Double Aspect seeks to explore the shifting nature of artistic influence, with particular interest in the impact of immaterial dialogues on the material production of painting. This is more fitting than ever given we are viewing each other’s work more through the immateriality of a screen, rather than in person, and forming new connections and ideas through these degrees of separation. 
 
Kathryn Dolby (NSW) and Jonathan Kopinski (QLD) have never physically met. Yet through regular online image sharing and discussion in relation to colour, memory and association, both artists have produced a series of individual – yet connected – works that influence and in turn, reflect those of the other. This initial exhibition of paintings will be the first time that Kathryn and Jonathan have come into any kind of physical interaction, albeit through their work. It will be followed by a full exhibition at the BSA Project Space in 2021.
