Description

Please join us this January on the first public open day of our new exhibitions ‘Matthew Day Jackson. Pathetic Fallacy’ and ‘Catherine Goodman. Eve’ where artists Jackson and Goodman will provide an introduction to each of their exhibitions, sharing key themes and ideas, following by a Q&A. The event will begin in the Threshing Barn gallery.

‘Pathetic Fallacy’ is an exhibition by Matthew Day Jackson, which consists of works conceived during his time as artist-in-residence at Hauser & Wirth Somerset from August 2018 until January 2019. The exhibition is presented in a range of mediums including: painting, drawing, sculpture, furniture, and installation.

Occupying the Threshing Barn, Workshop and Pigsty galleries is an exhibition of new paintings by London and Somerset based artist Catherine Goodman. Goodman was artist-in-residence at Hauser & Wirth Somerset from January to May 2018 and many of the works in the exhibition were made during her residency. Her practice includes expressionistic landscapes, vigorous sketches, experimental collages and portraits; central to her process is the act of drawing from observation, whether from life, objects or the great masters and their works. The exhibition is titled ‘Eve’ and the majority of works are vibrant, colourful, landscape based paintings.
