The Authentic Consequence: Forty years of John Baird
The exhibition traces Baird鈥檚 beginnings as an artist with Roar Studios through to key examples of his recent paintings, drawings, collages, and sculptures. Baird鈥檚 approach to his work will be on display as mini-tableaux comprising paintings, hand-built furniture and associated table-top sculptures, a wall of inspirations (sketches, photographs and musings) and a group of new paintings specially produced for the exhibition.
The Authentic Consequence explores the artist鈥檚 exploration of the frisson between the real and the imagined, and the innate difference between what is seen and what can be felt. Landscape and seascapes are richly loaded evocations of past histories and combine fresh observations with memories, shared experiences, and storytelling. Surfaces pulsate, shift and transition over time as they do in the arrangement of his still lives.
