On the move and ‘Transition’

I seem to be putting together very last minute exhibitions as of late, a few weeks ago, a phone call from the Jersey Arts centre ended in an exhibition with Anna Shipley being rustled together the next day called ‘Romantic Gestures.’ Just yesterday a call from my old Art teacher Jacque ended in an exhibition being hung that day which I’ve named  ‘Transition.’ So everything is very much on the go. Stressful, I seem to never rest even in my week off work. But I’ve always felt that if you’re making then you should be showing as well.

The work I’ve selected are pieces from my earlier more abstract work to my more recent descent into figurative imagery. You’ll notice this transition and how the ideas have changed and developed but the underlying theme of the body remains.

The work explores abjection, disgust and attraction as well as ideas of power and sexuality.

The image here is one of my most recent drawings. The space is not large enough for the original but there’ll be prints on display and hopefully an opportunity at a later exhibtion to see the original. I’ll let you know.

The exhibition runs from Tuesday 11th August 2009 - 28th August 2009. At the Sir John Cheshire gallery, next to St. Thomas’ Church in the Welcome centre.

Opening times are: Tuesday - Sunday 10am - 4pm, Wednesday 10am - 6.30pm, Monday it’s closed
