Expanded Eye, composed of Lisbon-based artists Jade Tomlinson and Kevin James, blends abstraction and figuration in their art. They focus on themes of the divine feminine, expressed through large-scale installations and framed pieces featuring geometric design and repurposed materials. Recently, they have emphasized ceramic works inspired by Portugal's tile tradition, aiming to create serene representations that evoke calmness amid a fast-paced world. Their approach marries historic artistic elements with contemporary methods, and they are currently engaged in a significant tile commission, enhancing their practice with ceramics.
Blurring the distinction between abstraction and figuration, Expanded Eye's recent works explore themes of the divine feminine and 'the peaceful power of the Earthmother.'
Through large-scale installations and framed pieces, the artists explore the possibilities of texture, pattern, and color, using ceramics to evoke stillness and calm.
Tomlinson and James's compositions channel an interest in timelessness, merging traditional materials with a modern approach that connects the past to the present.
Expanded Eye is currently working on their largest tile commission to date, planning to further merge ceramics with other facets of their practice.
