Comme Ca opens a new exhibition space by the Trafford Center
About
This summer Comme Ca Art are delighted to announce our inclusion in the Museum of Museums - A new cultural heritage centre opening at The Trafford Centre.The MoM aims to establish a destination that gives all genres of collections the opportunity to exhibit to the general public. The Peel Group is launching the venue at the end of May, which includes exhibits by The Transport Museum, RIBA, Generation Pop, The National Football Museum and many more.
As part of the Arts & Culture section of the Museum of Museums, Comme Ca Art will be hosting a specially designed three-room gallery, launching with solo exhibitions from three different artists.
In the central atrium we'll be showing a retrospective of works from the artist Andrew George Magee. The paintings represent three different collections of his work spanning the past ten years, and chart a journey of artistic creativity and development.
And in Space 2 Susan Aggarwal will be showing works from her 'Dance With Life' series. The works explore expressive abstract painting and the collection is a very personal representation of the artist's very own experience of nature and beauty, and her artistic response to it. The colours within the work represent a varied range: from stormy dark brown and blue palettes that are reminiscent of seascapes to bright yellow and reds that evoke an exotic jungle setting.
Matt Davies will complete the inaugural shows by presenting a mix of works both old and new. Davies? describes his painting as selfish, with a strong personal preferences and influences, and this is exactly what guides the stories in his works and what makes them so interesting to spend some time with.
