Join us on Thursday 4th September, 17:00 - 19:00 for the launch and private view of our new exhibition 'Abstract Alchemy'
Featuring dot-art artists Amanda Oliphant, Felice Beilin and Rachel McArdle
In Abstract Alchemy, three dot-art artists use processes akin to alchemy to transform recordings, memories and lived experiences of nature in to abstracted depictions of landscapes in constant flux.
As Amanda Oliphant moves through the landscape, she responds to distinctive patterns and rhythms. In her studio, she translates these experiences into visual stories, distilling the sensations of wind, and rugged terrain on to her surfaces. She captures not just the landscape itself, but the quiet mystery it holds. To evoke both the physical and emotional presence of place, she draws on written reflections, diverse materials, textured mark-making, and intuitive gestures. Amanda explores the hidden elements beneath the visible, where marks become fragments of sound, movement, and memory.
The aim of Felice Beilin’s work is to create mood and atmosphere within the landscape.Colour and gestural mark-making are key to conveying images that go beyond mere representation. Her work focuses on light and space to evoke a strong sense of place, drawing the natural world into the viewer’s awareness and encouraging reflection on their environment and the impact they have upon it.
Rachel McArdle is drawn to the patterns and colours found in nature, reflections in water, atmospheric skies, and shifting light and shadow. Her paintings seek to capture the often ethereal or surreal atmosphere and drama and change of the natural landscape.She distils vast scenes into intimate fragments, attempting to pin down a fleeting moment or feeling, so that each work becomes almost a memory or an imagined place. Her practice shifts between representing a physical space and evoking the atmosphere of a moment through heightened colour and abstraction.
All artworks are for sale.
