The following show is lined up for the Herbert Read Gallery, Canterbury 11-15th July:


Searching for New Understanding

The work of art is not an object of pure reception from the world that informs it, art originates its own reality via the instinctual investigations of the artist in response to the world around them.

At the core of the works presented by each artist within this exhibition lies a distinctly personal investigation of the intricacies of the world around us; a search for the unfamiliar within the familiar realm. By unpicking what we take for granted, we attempt to understand the world in a new light. To resituate and reimagine what is taken as fact becomes an exploration of self-schema within the artist.

The subjectivity of the human perception of reality implies that the perception of all things, concepts, and ideas in the universe differs between individuals. The dualisms between strength and fragility, material and mimesis and utopia and dystopia are presented here in unstable terms, as open questions to the audience. The relativistic perception of reality within each viewer will define which term is deemed most appropriate.
