An exhibition of paintings by Rupert Hartley

About

On some faraway beach Part 2 brings together a collection of 35 recent abstract paintings by artist Rupert Hartley that span pre lockdown and post 2020 period. The colourful and textured works combine cardboard and canvas as surfaces to paint on and construct and include recent monochromes, open grid paintings and new collage works. The works draw inspiration from art history and also indirectly reference the local environments in Hove where he has recently relocated.  In the past year he has spent time on walks and reflecting on the municipal spaces and areas just behind the sea front, an area he describes as ‘a space of anticipation – an area of shadows, of boundaries, of leisure, of glimpses, of bowling greens and tennis courts, of shrubberies and community murals.’ It was his aim to reflect some of these qualities in the works.
