Six women artists from The Essential school of painting present new work in painting, textiles and fibre art. ‘excavating their own multi layered histories.
About
A group of six women artists on the EADY course at THE ESOP, an alternative art school in Wood Green London. The course is overseen by Hughie O’ Donoghue RA and Dan Coombs. This is the interim show of the course and includes painting, fibre and textile art.
Painting is a language structure , but it is also "das Ding ", the unknowable Thing , it is also gendered, though like in life it seems that gender is transferable and fluid. Qualities are also symptoms; as mind becomes embedded in matter and composition , symptoms are transferred into the body of the painting rather than the actual body. The six women who pioneered the inaugural year of ESOP EADY have all brought their own experiences and are excavating their own multi-layered histories. The artists reflect a current urgency of the female voice in contemporary painting, in defiance of the masculine perspective as ubiquitous and historically determined.
Dan Coombs Head of Programme ESOP Advanced Painting and The Artist Development Course.
