ONLINE: Fragment Forms
It鈥檚 inevitable, in these off-centre times of obligatory isolation, to fixate on associations. Separation, cohabitation, direction, avoidance, conversation, touch. Adopting more holistic behaviours, we鈥檝e become hyper aware of the collective, cautious as to the ramifications of our actions. We are recognising ourselves as fragments responsible for, and reliant upon, one another to keep some bigger picture pieced together.
Presenting some twenty-seven works by eight artists, 鈥楩ragment Forms鈥� takes such musings on interrelationships as prompt. Some are preexisting diptychs and triptychs, others have been brought together for the first time. All, through association, become fragments of a new whole, conversing to recast their visual impact.
Rajvi Dedhia Unadkat鈥檚 creation of a painterly private language, Kate Trafeli鈥檚 allegorical technique and Ricahrd Hoey鈥檚 quite literal incorporation of text in his practice, remind us of the importance and mystique of communication. Jo Hummel鈥檚 watercolour assemblages, Ferris McGuinty鈥檚 lively collages and the rhythms buzzing through Marion Piper鈥檚 paintings speak to the intricacies of formal balance. While artworks by Sara Dare and Zandra Stratford - displaying, respectively, deep stillness and satirical titles - imbue a conscientious energy specific only to those works created during this pandemic.
