Colin Pennock: Pioneer

About

'Pioneer' is an exhibition that draws from Colin Pennock’s experiences as an Irish immigrant and avid traveller. Canvassing a nexus between geographical and emotional landscapes, the works look at how we often set out in search of something external only to find it within ourselves. Swelling with colour, smooth swoops of paint and bold gestures, the paintings hint at the bulging potential that lies dormant within us all. They precipitate the importance of looking within - an elemental aspect of Pennock’s practice. “A pioneer is someone who goes into the unknown with confidence in what they have inside” says the artist, “This is how I approach painting. It is how I have made my own way.”
