Featuring artists Marielle Hehir and Robert Mead, Genius Loci brings together two painters who explore ways in which contemporary painting can address the pressing environmental issues particular to land today.
In similar yet different ways, the paintings engage with materials in a way that offers a more-than-human perspective on contemporary landscape. Through close and repeated study of the strata of a particular place, the paintings become carriers of the atmosphere, the essence, the presiding spirit or genius loci of that place.
