About
The paintings showing in the First Floor Gallery reiterate a collapse of the normal with unexpected results. Each image can be likened to a theatrical event, where the props are caught in a moment of destruction or drama. Yet that same moment yields a surprising contrast. Colour emerges from, ignites or lights this virtual stage.These visual metaphors touch on ideas of dystopia, while at the same time releasing a narrative of colour as an emancipatory energy. In turn, ideas of visual beauty or the aesthetic are rehearsed and resited within mis-en-scenes of transformation.
