Forthcoming Exhibitions - open Wed 4 December
Merrin Eirth - I Swallowed A Fly (Comedy of the Humours)
4 - 22 December 2024
Opening Night: Wed 4 Dec, 630-8pm
This exhibition is inspired by multiple narratives about the human predicament and how it tests our resilience: the Marcel Marceau story; the Chinese tale of the Cut Sleeve and the Bitten Peach; Dylan/Hendrix The Joker and the Thief; Puccini's Madam Butterfly, Catch 22, my dad’s ‘coming of age’ sailor story plus a few other well-known anecdotes and adages that have travelled with me over the years.
The pictures are larger now, and as such they present a complex set of exciting new pictorial challenges. Ideas vie with each other in a scaled-up arena that demand a revised painting methodology and therefore further risk taking on my part. I am the egg woman, the sorcerer’s apprentice, the clown and Alice, all at once.
Vietta Korren-Steele - Dissolving Shifts
4 - 22 December 2024
Opening Night: Wed 4 Dec, 630-8pm
In Dissolving Shifts, Vietta Korren-Steele's signature trailing lines navigate underlying geometric forms and organic textures, tracing a delicate balance between control and spontaneity.
In this series the use of colour is pared back considerably compared to Korren-Steele's previous works. The result is a foregrounding of subtle variations in opacity and transparency, responding to the weight of lines produced by the pressure of brushes and applicators.
The forms that surface are drawn from a deep memory of structures - shadows, furrow lines and industrial elements - as they shift through spatial and temporal planes, approaching, receding and dissolving. Layered over time, mediums interact to evoke a tactile sense of raw elemental forces - weathering wrought by wind, water and the passage of years.
