<strong>antonym</strong> (noun)<br />
a word opposite in meaning to another<br />
Light/Dark<br />
Ancient/Modern<br />
Innocent/Guilty<br />
Rigid/Flexible<br />
Mystery/Revelation<br />
Penny Davenport and Jason Thompson work (separately) and live (together) in Liverpool.<br />
They are the opposite of opposites.<br />
Penny’s work compliments Jason’s, and vice versa.<br />
Their latest paintings, many of which were made during lockdown, bring to mind <strong>antonym</strong>s.<br />
We hope their vibrancy, character and dreaminess bring you as much joy as they bring us.<br />
