When does following convention turn into submission? The colour neon yellow in Pangestu’s paintings serves as a highlight in restoring control over the modified forms. The contrast visually emphasises a sense of structure, allowing the eye to perceive an illusion of the original square despite the underlying physical shifts. From a distance, the highlighted square in these works appears solid and whole, yet upon closer inspection, the lines are calculatedly positioned to adapt with the irregularity of the painting surface, trailing the flow of its tensions. Are we shaping the structures around us, or are they shaping us? By challenging the conventional boundaries of painting, Structure Control raises questions about concerns, restrictions, and the invisible forces that shape perception. Through these paintings, the push and pull between constrain and freedom unfolds, offering a visual contemplation on the delicate balance of life.

Evi Pangestu (b. 1992, Jakarta) is an Indonesian painter based in London. She started her formal training in painting at the Indonesian Institute of the Arts Yogyakarta, then moved to the UK to finish her undergraduate degree in Birmingham School of Art. In 2019, Evi received an MA in Painting from the Royal College of Art, London. Evi Pangestu’s artistic practice establishes a framework of control within the square and grid structures of painting, while simultaneously visualizing the rebellion that shakes those foundations. This exhibition aims to expand this narrative into the physical and psychological experiences of the audience, encouraging a ‘forced interaction’ with the artworks. The neon yellow highlights in Pangestu’s works serve as visual cues, reminding us of the potential for rebellion that lies beneath a seemingly stable facade and visualizing the vibrant energy that emerges from the cracks.
