BREAKOUT: ADVANCED PAINTING - 26 APRIL 2021

BREAKOUT: ADVANCED PAINTING

26th April 2021

Online (in College in June)

A celebration show for the achievements of the Advanced Painting Class at Waterloo, curated by Julia Colmenares and Melissa Baksh. These works, many of which are for sale, are the culmination of a strange and complex year which has tested Morley students, and in which they have achieved remarkable things.

The exhibition brings together 7 artists sharing their experiences of the last year: glimpsed, slipping, focussed and filtered through paint. What could have been a time of suspended motion is for these artists: Kate Burnett, Patrice Collins, Jenny Gorna, Jane Hughes, Annabel Karim Kassar, Miranda Townsend and Farzi Yousefi; a breakout, for reflection and a supercharge for making life changes.

Literally meeting in ‘breakout’ rooms to communicate, exchange ideas and support; the works reflect conversations of enclosure, escapism, nostalgia and a processing of past and present. This virtual enclosure invites, ‘touching visually’, artworks that embrace colour, the surreal, gestural expressiveness, and memory.

Please join us in celebrating the achievements of these students in this exhibition of paintings by Morley students, accessible initially via the Kunstmatrix digital exhibition space, and from June in the Barry Till Gallery at Waterloo.
