SUMMARY:: 32 Market Street: Rob Davies
DESCRIPTION:32 Market Street\,\nHoylake\,\nWirral\,\nCH47 2AF\n\nOpen weeke
 nds until the end of July 2018\n\nRob D Davies has taken over an empty sho
 p on Market street in Hoylake (number 32) until the end of July\, and has 
 filled most of the space with several large (some 185cm's long) watercolou
 r/mixed media paintings (as well as a few works on canvas) that were initi
 ally developed on a one-year studio residency at ‘Metal’ in Edge Hill 
 station (though he had been working on large sheets of paper before and s
 ince then)\n\nThe exhibition is entitled 'Sacred Landfill' and mixes a cer
 tain irreverence with sombre\, yet at times\, other-worldly landscapes. Th
 ere is also somewhat of an ecological theme\, as well as a suggestion of 
 psychological ‘projections’ that we humans can have a tendency to crea
 te and impose upon the world.\n\nThey are not so much views but rather fra
 gments of land and disparate characters\, arranged over the picture’s su
 rface. The aspect of fragments also slightly mirrors our mind’s tendency
  to fragment thought\, and so the landscapes could be seen partly as a met
 aphor for mind. Although ‘The Wild West’ and Hollywood have been of so
 me influence\, and make a slight\, incongruous  appearance in the imagery
 \, the work is fundamentally a romantic look at the layered landscapes of 
 the U.K\, and how it can vary suddenly from fairly mundane\, semi-industri
 al wasteland to the sublime. They may be wastelands but the land is alive\
 , and also\,  just as the landscapes of the U.K can be layered with histo
 ry there have been a lot of ideas and little meanings that layer the paint
 ings.
