Overview

Henny Acloque, Jo Dennis, Sarah Dwyer, Dido Hallett, Paul Moriarty, Myra Stimson, Max Wade. Curated by Paul Moriarty and Myra Stimson.

This exhibition explores and celebrates a small group of contemporary artists passionate about paint, colour, surface and touch to make exceedingly rich and luscious painterly paintings.

In these works we will encounter highly gestural movement alongside quiet areas of stillness allowing us to consider the richness and sensual experience of the materiality of painting. 

All the artists work intuitively through the process of painting and through exploring their own aesthetic they find their own way, their own paintings. 

On the way, they may have removed, scrubbed off, painted over many other paintings that perhaps could of stood just as well as their finished piece; except the work would never have taken risks and moved to a higher level of understanding. In each of these works there is a continual exploration of paint, form and colour to meet and imbued  the subject with greater depth and ultimately; greater meaning.
