TERRY NILSSEN-LOVE

Posted on 2012-07-23

Whilst the work from Terry Nilssen-Love over the last few years has moved in a more free direction, as opposed to the earlier more geometrical structured compositions, what has continually occupied him has been the search for a balance between order and chaos and how far to move in either of these directions.
Perhaps this is a natural problem he shares with many other painters as part of the process experienced whilst moving towards the “finished” work.

The question as to when a painting is finished is a difficult one to answer ?– the “final” brushstroke before signing the work is a myth perpetuated in novels. Perhaps a painting is finished when one simply stops in order to move on. Inevitably the next painting will be a continuation of the last, and therefore all paintings must represent a documentation of an ongoing process; so what is a finished and what is underway?
Nilssen-Love does not want to start and finish and then to start again. He works on several paintings at the same time. The dialogue takes place not only between him and a painting, but takes place also between one painting and another, or between several works.

SEBASTIAN GÖGEL – BOULEVARD

Posted on 2012-07-23

Corresponding to the real boulevard as a place of social interconnections and entanglement, Gögel’s ‘Boulevard’ accommodates a cosmos of social prototypes in a telling display. Stylized portraits make their appearance next to abstract figurations. Radical attitudes and hierarchies are claimed and abandoned in his work. With hazardous intent, grotesquely morbid grimaces are united with blithely humorous elegance in a circus of crumbling beauty made up of urban facades.

Sebastian Gögel, born in Sonneberg, Thuringia, Germany, in 1978, lives and works in Leipzig. From 1997 to 2002, he studied painting/graphic arts at the Academy of Visual Arts Leipzig. From 2002 to 2005, he pursued his post-graduate studies with Prof. Sighard Gille.

ANTHONY HAUGHEY – SETTLEMENT

Posted on 2012-07-23

Settlement explores the effects of economic growth on the natural landscape. Even in the smallest rural villages and towns private developers and credit rich individuals availed of favourable government tax breaks and laissez faire planning legislation to hastily build domestic housing estates for quick profit and to meet the demands of a growing population.

All the photographs in this series are produced between sunset and sunrise, partly to avoid any potential confrontation with security guards who regularly patrol these sites during the daytime. The combination of darkness, artificial light and long exposures draws attention to the effects of development on the natural environment by reducing each photograph to the key elements of land and manmade constructions. The natural landscape has been disturbed by earth moving machinery generating artificial hills and valleys in front of half built or unoccupied dwellings. Slowly, nature has started to reclaim the exposed landscape.

Exhibition runs through till August 10th, 2012
