Introducing:
Michael Craik-Freya Douglas-Morris
CLAPHAM ART GALLERY is excited to present its annual gallery artists
show.
Featuring fourteen artists who exhibit regularly with Clapham Art
Gallery, as well as introducing two exciting new discoveries in Michael
Craik and Freya Douglas-Morris, this show promises to be an eclectic and
vibrant painting exhibition.
Each artist is known for their superb technical accomplishment and
individual style. This is an ideal opportunity to view a range of work
from hyper-realism to material abstraction, and to witness the means by
which contemporary artists often achieve their final product. Many
artists here employ the use of film and photography within their
process, highlighting the contemporary tendency to embrace modern
technologies. For example, we have Dan McDermott who makes his own
cine-films before converting to VHS and then photographing the TV screen
before rendering his final image in oil paint. Kathryn Lang also
acquires her image from film before using a computer to design a
complicated, abstracted final version where the image is obscured by
shifted linear strips. This is then rendered in meticulously painted oil
on aluminium. Kes Richardson also embraces computer technology by
downloading his images from internet porn before abstracting and
designing his subject and then painting in acrylic on canvas.
This exhibition is also a chance to witness the development of our
various gallery artists. Many have been showing with Clapham Art Gallery
for up to five years now. In that time artists such as Kes Richardson,
Dan McDermott and Tom Hackney have grown from obscurity to being
renowned through publications such as Art Review, GQ and The Face.
Others such as Gill Rocca, Jo Barrett, Paul Catherall and Tritan Braho
have featured heavily in The Observer, The Independent, The Telegraph
and various other national and local publications. In addition, many
such as Louise Lawton have achieved considerable commercial success and
have become internationally sought after.
We are therefore proud to provide an overview of such a talented
collection of individual talents in our first exhibition of 2004.
