A solo exhibition of new work by Phil Booth on the upper floor of Tremenheere Gallery.
Making wall mounted and free-standing constructions, box works, art medals and works on paper, Phil says of his work:
Underpinning much of the work are critical questions about the many-layered and often dysfunctional relationship between ourselves and the natural world. Challenging, for instance, the dualistic notion of an inevitable divide between humankind and nature. In some ways then, it may reflect a critical position, at other times the work may be celebratory. A consequence of this central approach can be found in the facts that the language of the work explores the space between mathematics and art, geometry and flow, abstraction and figuration, and experience and myth.
Much of the work in this exhibition originates in reactions to encounters with the landscape, usually through drawing. An extensive development process brings together this material and other sources that can be entirely invented, revealing and enlarging new dynamics and discoveries.
The exhibition runs 8th May – 12th June 2021. Tremenheere Gallery is open Tuesday – Saturday, 11am – 4pm.
