Author, artist and broadcaster Philip Hoare joins artist Jake Grewal for an in-conversation during the final weeks of Grewal's current exhibition Under The Same Sky.
Both Grewal and Hoare have explored how humans are intrinsically connected with the ocean. For Under The Same Sky, Grewal produced a significant series of new paintings, informed by two residencies over the past year, including a month-long period exploring coastal landscapes at Porthmeor Studios in St Ives. Located at the threshold between land and water, the shorelines and seascapes that ultimately appear in the exhibition often seem untethered from an exact time and place. Grewal captures ever-shifting landscapes, harnessing their qualities of wildness and unpredictability to convey both a sense of human fragility and queer awakening.
Through his writing, which has included the books RISINGTIDEFALLINGSTAR and The Sea Inside, Hoare has combined memoir, cultural history and travelogue in astounding accounts of wilderness and beauty.
This is a special opportunity to hear the writer and artist discuss their affinity for the sea as a shared, and enduring, source of inspiration.
