Cheryl Penn: The Daily Round
Tamasa Gallery is proud to present The Daily Round an exhibition by celebrated artist Cheryl Penn.
Artist鈥檚 statement:
鈥楢s a process based, trans-disciplinary artist, I needed to find a way to marry all the mediums I work in. Books, text, paintings, visual poetry, poetry, asemic writing, research, mail art, palimpsests etc: this body of work is the locus where I have currently recorded all my interests, penned my thoughts, kept a diary, placed private musings into the public space and combined an interest in everything into one compulsive, obsessively worked body of artefacts.
Circles as a form have been the preoccupation of many artists since Giotto flicked his wrist and submitted a perfect circle as an example of his talent. Whether it be Yayoi Kusama, Wassily Kandinsky, Anish Kapoor, a rondo by Hungarian composer Zoltan Kodaly, or Rembrandt鈥檚 Self-Portrait with Two Circles (c.鈥�1665鈥�1669), artists new and old have explored this shape. Kandinsky said: 鈥淥f the three primary forms鈥� the circle points most clearly to the fourth dimension鈥� -鈥� he thought they were the fundamental building blocks of art. They are potent symbols representing higher thoughts and ideas beyond our reality. How can one NOT explore them? 鈥�
