What future does the landscape have once its resources are exhausted? This exhibition showcases the work of two artists who, in different ways, consider the impact of man upon our rural environment.
About
This exhibition showcases the work of two artists who consider the landscape from sympathetic yet unsentimental perspectives. In Frank Ferrie’s resonantly sombre paintings of disused Welsh slate mines, and Mark Stuart Smith’s turbulent panoramic drawings of a Spanish woodland there are no visible horizons, only a sense of uneasy immersion and proximity. The show brings together paintings, drawings, prints, and photographs to reflect on how these landscapes have been worked, then abandoned, and finally transformed into visual spectacle.
