An Absence of Windmills: Part I
Diverse practice in East-Anglian art
East Anglia is rightly acknowledged for its rich artistic heritage, stemming back to the days of the Norwich school of painters in the 1800’s. Two hundred years later, beneath the surface of this well-trodden landscape, the astute art collector can discover the presence of a number of art practitioners producing an exciting and diverse range of artworks within this East-Anglian landscape.
In its latest exhibition, Art 18/21 celebrates the diverse practice of some of the leading artists working within our region. Moving from the impeccably crafted and aesthetically enticing conceptual works of Andrew Schumann, to the large, initially challenging multi-media canvases of Rhonda Whitehead’s latest series, the viewer is invited to ‘touch with the eyes’. By contrast, the playful scenes expertly captured by the illustrative work of Helen Herbert and David Jones, toy with the pleasure of the everyday. Interspersed within the space are Mark Ward’s monumental and overtly ‘in your face’ colourful canvases depicting the unreal in a realist manner. Memories are questioned as the animals in his images appear to hang, suspended in reality. Eventually your eyes will rest appreciatively on the skilfully executed works of Peter Baldwin and Jeremy Taylor, two artists where the formal aspect in their work enthralls the viewer with the capacity to hold and intrigue the gaze.
An Absence of Windmills: Part I shows at the Art 18/21 Gallery from Saturday 30 May until Wednesday 1 July. All artworks are for sale with prices from £100 to £10.000.
