Vessels
3 November - 23 December 2023
GALLERY EXHIBTION
Vessels brings together 15 outstanding artists to explore the vessel and its diverse meanings across sculpture, ceramics, painting and photography.
EXHIBITING ARTISTS
Joshua Aubrook, Frances Carlile, Lizzie Farey, Robert George, Lucy Glendinning, Felice Hodges, Robyn Neild, Rebecca Newnham, Sarah Purvey, Jane Sheppard, Jo Taylor, Louise Tunnard, Laurence Wallace, Kate Windibank, Caroline Winn
The exhibition is curated by visual arts advisor and curator Jacquiline Creswell. It is Jacquiline’s third collaboration with the gallery following her ‘No Woman is an Island’ exhibition in Spring 2022 and ‘John Blackburn: Revisitation Paintings’ which opened our programme this year.
The polysemic nature of vessels highlights the versatility and richness of the term. The numerous meanings of the word and potential interpretations provide a rich medium for creative expression, symbolism, and the exploration of various concepts related to containment, transportation, embodiment and transformation.
“This group of artists was carefully selected from different disciplines to enhance the creative vision and effectively communicate their interpretation of a vessel. From intricately designed vases and decorative bowls to sculptural containers, the human form, photography and painting, these vessels combine to showcase the creativity and skill of the artists, adding beauty and artistic value to our human experience.”
