This solo exhibition, Cumberland's third at The Approach, consists of four single colour paintings of four hand drawn circles. The gestural drawing and rapid colouring in that are rendered using stencil techniques, perfectly hold in balance a tension between the handmade and the mechanical. Many of the lazy basic human desires to decadently slob around, piss, dribble and drip everywhere have been processed and mediated into these elegant paintings, that Cumberland refers to as 'posh ornaments'.
