Richard Cartwright : Meet me in the Silence

10 Nov-18 Nov 2009

Adam Gallery
London W1S 3NJ

Overview

Enchanting, and occasionally disconcerting, Richard Cartwright remarkable landscapes are often captured in dusk-light or night-light: when one begins to see beyond the world’s hemisphere to the stars billions of miles away. The human presence is a pinprick of existence, evoking a yearning of the spirit in a world of silent mystery. Cartwright sees it as significant that we are drawn in by the smallest, most transient human presence - a miniature tent, road, house or person - within a landscape and how it alters the landscape.
