I was fortunate to be selected for a few online exhibitions during lockdown. Two were based on rooms in a house, in this one organised by Chapel Art Studios I had a collage in ‘The Garage’

ROOMS Subsidiary Projects

I am showing my painting “Paperbacks” in Subsidiary Projects online exhibition ROOMS.

https://www.subsidiaryprojects.com/rooms

An online exhibition curated by Subsidiary Projects.

“All of us are eager to leave our houses and continue with life as we knew it before this all started, however, there can be comfort to be found in the home.

This exhibition brings together fifteen works that depict the domestic environment of artists we discovered online. Divided into three rooms: Kitchen, Bedroom and Bathroom, each section showcases the work of five different artists. We want to prove that we can still use tools such as the internet to connect”

‘Rooms’ can be visited online, from your own phone or even better on your laptop, where the details of each work can be truly appreciated.

Invited artists by alphabetical order:

Maddie Yuille, Matt Macken, Ellie Pratt, Mandy Hudson, Nettle Grellier, Luke Silva, Alexander Basil, Serpil Mavi Ustun, Angus McCrum, Charlie de Voet, Richard Baker, Prudence Flint, Minyoung Choi, Gareth Cadwallader and Henni Alftan.

TABLE OF ELEMENTS

- arrangement of the chemical elements in horizontal layers in order of atomic mass - otherwise difficult to classify in visual terms.

Robin Dixon's paintings are part of a series depicting scientists, technicians and workers involved in different activities or tasks. These he has painted using a combination of found imagery and his own photographs as reference, they are a mixture of the partially observed and the imaginary. The fact that the source material is often of low-grade quality allows him room for interpretation of the subject, which adds to the cryptic and mysterious feel of these scenes. The over-layering of paintings is something that feeds the accidental composition of scenes where elements or perspective of one painting can be re-read in an alternative painting. Buildings, a window, a floor can function as one or other or both, following the paintings own logic. The paintings depiction of internal and external space dissolves the distinction between the room/laboratory and the outside environment/surrounding landscape.

Mandy Hudson's subject matter is found amongst objects she sees around London's streets,in an abandoned shop, in an illuminated room through a window, things arbitrarily or coincidentally arranged. These could be a collection of multi-coloured boxes and packaging stacked for recycling by the roadside, shadows falling across a curtain glimpsed from the street below or a still-life arrangement of fancy goods outside a Pound shop. It is important for her that these are found situations, created without conscious intervention, the randomness of rubbish in it's "natural" state. From these patterns, shapes and structural compositions she can produce a representation, not just of a scene. In editing what she finds, simplifyingor emphasising it's abstract qualities, she finds echoes or intimations of other structures, arrangements or patterns, reminiscent of something on a greater or smaller scale. By removing the temporal from the painting the images become universal or integral.
