'The Great Escape'

About

A solo exhibition of recent works by painter Rob Reed, which focuses on existential escapism from the restraints of the modern world. Seeking the idyllic solitary environments in the common place. The exhibition takes a revisionist path back to the emotional expression of ‘Romanticism', not so much as contextualizing such traditions to the present but showing a continuation for the Romantic traditions for the re-evaluation of the scenery and discovering its symbolic qualities. Considering the past in a new light to discover new perspectives on what is happening today, and to characterize the social and environmental concerns of today's modern society.
