Gwenyth Fugard & others @ The New Gallery

Stories and intimations are at the heart of The Cultivation of Things, an exhibition of work by Chris Christophorou, Gwenyth Fugard and Nicky Hodge.  While each artist’s practice, through time, place, materials and intention are distinct from each other, the thread they share is a kind of language of forms, materials and gestures that are more commonly associated with ‘abstract’, ‘non-figurative’ or ‘non-objective’ painting.

You might feel these terms are useful in making sense of works, but what they offer is a way of classifying paintings.  Making space for something to happen is what the artists in this exhibition are interested in.
