TO THE LIGHTHOUSE, NEIST POINT

Posted on 2010-11-15

With icy blizzards currently coating the majority of the UK’s upper echelons in a hazardous layer of thick white snow, it would be cruel to advise anyone to brave the journey to the northern most reaches of our green and pleasant land right at this particular moment in time. But. Instead we’re looking towards spring. To sandy beaches no longer whipped by winter’s burly winds, where palm trees sway gently against wrap-around blue skies. Scottish skies. All is private, calm and still, and emerging to be exceedingly fashionable.

In springtime, before the primping of summer begins we like to drift to lesser-known enclaves that conceal great portions of tranquillity for reassurance that, amidst our fast-changing world, there is elemental continuity. This is Scotland’s Isle of Skye, where the Talisker Distillery pours out warming flasks of flowing chestnut gold and savage beauty reign supreme. And all is but a train ride away from London…

BRYAN DRURY : RECENT WORKS – ANTIBIOSIS

Posted on 2010-11-08

“Recent works – Antibiosis” features new and recent works by Bryan Drury. The artist’s body of work, all oil paintings completed within the past 2 years, confronts the incongruous relationship between humans and the natural world. This comes into light not by pairing two extremes against one another or by making pictorial juxtapositions. Instead, it subtly poises their contrived – and growing – separation head on with a realism that marks humanity’s detached fetishization and exploitation of nature.

Opposite – Imitation, 2010, Oil on Wood, 84″ x 60″

Exhibition runs through to November 27th, 2010
