2012...we're back

We are back up and running and looking forward to a great 2012. On Wednesday 15th Feb we are having an opening for our first show of the year. So come and have a glass of wine and catch up, plus check out some great new work from Martin Poppelwell, Tao Wells, Nigel Royal and Eion Stevens amongst others.
Nigel Royal - Binary State 00489 negative
Nigel Royal has produced two stunning ‘stills’ from his Binary State series. These are one off lambda prints that have a genesis in the sounds and symbols that represent the elements of human language and communication.
Royal experiments with theories based on the psychology of perception and applies them to the moving image and sound- both analogue and digital. By working across various technologies, remediating and manipulating them within the computer, he in turn creates new sounds and forms new images.
Tao Wells - Ripped White, number 3
Tao Wells probably set out to undermine certain artistic sensibilities. He has made a series of homemade stretcher frames from scrap timber and then stopped and looked around.
 The need to present a surface, to ‘front up’, tell the story, make some [re]mark, is an obligation of our garden variety visual artist. It is also the point that Wells departs the garden path, so to speak, and heads off into the overgrown municipal green belt. From the humblest ‘cap in hand’ beginnings Wells has [possibly] inadvertently created the sublime art object….and the answer has been under our noses the whole time!
