On solitude, the studio and making
About
“Making a painting is so hard, it makes you crazy...You have to simultaneously diagnose, predict and ignore the past, present and future, all at once; you have to remember and to forget at the same time.”
Amy Sillman
Karl Bielik, Julie Caves, Jody DeSchutter, Michele Fletcher, Mark Jackson, Michael Lawton, Patrick Lears, Johanna Melvin, Alice Peillon, Ian Whitfield, Clare Wilson
The artists chosen for this exhibition Seeing Feeling Forgetting have a distinct individual intimacy with and between their chosen material, process and object. Their work tips between abstraction and representation with as much being said in the brushwork, texture, colour and paint as in the final image.
For them, the solitude of the studio is a place that culminates with the channelling of experience into the intuitive act of making. However, in order to create, they have to let go of the concrete, savour the moment of making and forget the initial impetus for that act. This exhibition is a meditation on the solitude of a painter in the studio and that moment in time when the artist and work become something beyond the sum of its parts.
29 September 6 – 8 pm. Private View – All welcome.
