On the Nature of Daylight
Andrew Hillhouse Butterbox "My textured acrylic abstract paintings investigate the fragmentation of light and image, drawing inspiration from the natural environment’s shifting forms and elusive beauty. Through layered applications and tactile surfaces, I seek to capture the interplay between clarity and obscurity, inviting viewers to experience the emotional resonance of fractured perception. The meditative and exploratory process, echoes the unpredictability of nature and vision. By distilling light into textured fragments, my work aims to provoke contemplation and a sensory response, transforming fleeting impressions into enduring visual experiences" - Andrew Hillhouse. |

Carnival
David Thorogood Foyer “In Carnival I am exploring curious internal bodily sensations, simultaneous levity and gravity, simultaneous stillness and movement, simultaneous life and death. Carnival was originally the period before lent when food was used up before it went off. It allowed indulgences before the long fast and means 'giving up meat’ or more literally "raising flesh”. I am asking; what are we capable of if we remove our heads? Like gods we move into impossible shapes and move at one with nature.” - David Thorogood. |
