Fragment Forms: A Group Exhibition of Diptychs and Triptychs
Past viewing_room
It’s inevitable, in these off-centre times of obligatory isolation, to fixate on associations. Separation, cohabitation, direction, avoidance, conversation, touch. Adopting more holistic behaviours, we’ve 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, ‘Fragment Forms’ 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’s creation of a painterly private language, Kate Trafeli’s allegorical technique and Ricahrd Hoey’s quite literal incorporation of text in his practice, remind us of the importance and mystique of communication. Jo Hummel’s watercolour assemblages, Ferris McGuinty’s lively collages and the rhythms buzzing through Marion Piper’s 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.
