The House of St Barnabas

Join us in celebrating two new art exhibitions on show at the House of St Barnabas.

Along Those Lines - Monro RoomIt is too often assumed that art is either abstract or figurative. For some artists this either/or is unnecessarily rigid. Along Those Lines is an exhibition that looks at the hybrid use of geometry in art. Curator Clare Bradley has chosen six artists who play with the infinite possibilities of geometrical forms as elements inside a wider representational context. Each of them in their different way is looking at the unbound resonance of geometric abstraction and what it does to us, intuitively and cognitively. For this, there are no boundaries and no limit to where it starts and stops. The artists on show are:Kerry AndrewsRichard CaldicottFieroza DoorsenGünther HerbstBérénice MayauxMichael Stubbs_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________Magnus Gjoen with Art Surgery - Dickens RoomBorn in London to Norwegian parents, Magnus Gjoen grew up in Switzerland, Denmark, Italy as well as in the UK. As a contemporary artist Gjoen has exhibited worldwide and questions the notions of beauty by juxtaposing a range of styles and media, incorporating a street and pop aesthetic with a fine art approach. His pieces draw on history and allusion, using existing artworks or fragments from the past to create his own, contemporary._____________________________________________________________________________________________________________We would like to thank Campari, Art Surgery and Crown Art for their generous support of this exhibitions._____________________________________________________________________________________________________________The House of St Barnabas is a charity, supporting homeless people into work.
