slow art 16 June-10th July 2004
Artsists include Luke Elwes “What we need more of is slow art: art that holds time
as a vase holds water: art that grows out of modes of perception and making
whose skill and doggedness make you think and feel; art that isn't merely
sensational, that doesn't get its message across in ten seconds, that
isn't falsely iconic, that hooks onto something deep-running in our natures.”
The artists shown have very diverse ways of creating work, and different intentions, but all fall within the boundaries of the remarks made by Robert Hughes. The exhibition is intended to demonstrate that although not always considered fashionable nonetheless there is a dynamic, active area of painting that sometimes falls away from the mainstream ‘mass-media’ characterisation of art. And which highlights the notion of painting as something that benefits not from a “lifetime of experience” but from the more demanding “lifetime of practice”.
This will be the first time that Broadbent has exhibited the work of Luke Elwes and Alf Löhr Images to follow by Monday 14th June.
