Connor Gavin, Candice Swallow. The pARTnership

About

Connor Gavin and Candice Swallow make work that is visually dynamic. It is saturated with colour and imbued with explosive energy. Their works are the result of hundreds of repetitive mark-making gestures using their chosen tools of paint, felt-tip pens, and oil pastel.

For this exhibition the artists will be presenting new drawings as both works on paper and digital animation. Their works will be shown alongside a series of short moving image works by members of the Neurocultures Collective that take the form of Gifs and two video works by Rachel Goodyear and Nicola Dale from Grundy’s Collection.

Connor Gavin and Candice Swallow are founder members of the pARTnership, an ongoing creative and professional development project for artists with a learning-disability. The pARTnership is led by Grundy Art Gallery and delivered in partnership with lead artist, Tina Dempsey and The New Langdale, Blackpool Council’s daytime service for people with a learning disability.
