Looking at imagery from Art Nouveau and Arts and Crafts movements, Callum Harvey investigates idealised depictions of nature and its construction through design which allows us to experience it in new ways.
About
For his solo exhibition, Harvey considers the function of nature in a man-made environment by playing with the architecture of the gallery itself. Sculptural ornamentation is subtly displayed around the gallery in architecturally appropriate places, such as the edges of the ceiling or close to the floor. Alongside them are his paintings of repeated patterns that reference elements of architecture and interior design motifs.
Through meticulous technique and process, Harvey continuously moves between something artificial and organic. His work is both new and contemporary as well as retaining a relationship to design methods that are centuries old, showing how they relate to the present and our current lived environment.
