Castlefield Gallery is pleased to present its next Launch Pad exhibition, About Painting, curated by Lisa Denyer. The exhibition was selected through open submission by a panel including Stephen Snoddy, Director of New Art Gallery Walsall, and Castlefield Gallery’s Interim Programme Manager Matthew Pendergast.
About Painting brings together eight painters from across the UK who employ a breadth of approaches to contemporary abstract painting. Their work ranges from the highly structured and pre-planned to more spontaneous painterly language.Abstract painting is by its nature ambiguous and open to interpretation. It doesn’t pertain to any single subject, and has the capacity to represent a multitude of thoughts, feelings and visual stimuli. Every experience a painter has informs the making of a painting, just as the viewer can’t separate their subjectivity from their interpretation.
The About Painting exhibition will invite the viewer to consider the decision making process involved in a painting, as a series of significant events that align one way or another to form the compositional whole.
