We’re glad to be back in the gallery and glad that the country has started its recovery after the recent Pause.
The last couple of months have been stressful but also, one has to admit, restorative. We’ve been forced to relax but at the same time managed to get a few things done that would normally slip to the bottom of the pile. One of the things Maddie and I did during lockdown (ok mainly Maddie) was re-organise the Stockroom.
It was like looking through a box of old photographs … you do your best to stay on-task but keep getting side-tracked so it ends up taking all day … “Oh wow remember this?” … “I don’t remember that colour being so intense” … “Why have these been stuck here for so long with no-one seeing them?!”
As artworks got hauled out of racks and moved around the walls and stacked in odd piles we started noticing random combinations. Colours and shapes were matching (or clashing in a good way), subject matter was aligning (or colliding), and pairs of artists whose work you wouldn’t normally consider putting beside each other were actually looking fantastic … it was serendipity … but it gave us the first glimmers of an unexpected opening show.
So … in the spirit of “welcome back!” … we invite you to visit our joyous, celebratory and just-slightly-random post-lockdown group exhibition: On with the Show.
