CURATOR'S SELECTION:
MOVEMENT
When thinking of a painting, movement is probably not the first thing you would associate with it. However, it is an essential part of a composition. When you look at a painting, your eyes move across it, a movement that the artist evokes with rhythm, line, color, balance and space. In that sense, the painter is basically a director.
In the selection for November 2022 - February 2023 you will find paintings that evoke a strong sense of movement. From Michelle Nguyen's dramatic cockfights, which gracefully portray a macabre event, to Anne Griffith's west coast landscapes, which are a surprisingly dynamic representation of nature with its variation in use of materials, lines and dashes of colour.
