3 - 31 May 2008
Opening View: Friday 2 May 6-8pm
This exhibition brings together new and recent work by three artists who
have all recently completed postgraduate art studies in London. Featuring photography,
sculpture, painting and digitally generated imagery, the artists’ work
approaches the city from varying vantage points as a means of exploring perception,
belonging and memory. Through various acts of displacement and using elements
of reality and fantasy, the macro and micro, the incidental and the monumental,
these artists provide highly original and inventive perspectives on ideas relating
to the everyday and the built environment.
Manuela Barczewski’s stunning deadpan photographic tableaux of objects
found abandoned in the street quietly provoke our powers of perception, whilst
Lizi Sánchez’s sculptures evoke illusions of scale, through using
an amalgam of ornamental and decorative forms found in architecture, monuments
and shop displays. Jane Ward’s digitally generated images portray the
city and countryside in uncertain states of transition. In Once Removed, nothing
quite reveals itself how we might expect it to; the familiar is rendered and
reworked often with a underlying humour and irreverence which compels us to
look again.
A free illustrated colour brochure, featuring a text by Richard Hylton, accompanies
this exhibition [ISBN 978-1-899764-94-5] and is available on request.
