SUMMARY:Cornerstone: The Cornerstone Gallery: Steve Childs
DESCRIPTION:Steve Childs\n\nThe Cornerstone Gallery proudly presents the wo
 rk of artist and musician Steve Childs.\n\nExhibition runs 12th September 
 - October 14th 2016.\n\nStructure\, proportion\, and mathematics underpin 
 a lot of art and music. Some examples that spring to mind are the 14th ce
 ntury Sienese paintings of Sassetta (Stefano di Giovanni di Consolo)\, the
  music of JS Bach\, and the work of the Minimalist artists of the 1960’
 s.\n\nIn the late twentieth century\, de-constructivist architects have us
 ed systems to produce chaotic structures such as the Bilbao Guggenheim an
 d the Jewish Museum in Berlin.\n\nI see great parallels between the visual
  arts and music in this respect. Abstraction and the use of thematic mate
 rial are common to both\, as are underlying mathematical structures\, prop
 ortion\, and improvisation.\n\nPresented here is a body of work that incl
 udes Drawings\, Prints\, and Maquette’s\, exploring ideas for larger sc
 ulptural pieces.\n\nMethod\n\nIdeas have been developed by the use of syst
 ems. A set of rules are applied in order to determine the final outcome o
 f the piece. Some of the work has been generated by ‘superimposition’\
 ; two or more simple forms combined (or subtracted) to produce something 
 more complex.\n\nOther work is based on the use of an underlying unit such
  as a cube or a square.\n\nMany studies were made from a large purpose bui
 lt installation that has provided a rich source of visual imagery for bot
 h 2D and 3D ideas.\n\nThe prints in the exhibition are photographic studie
 s of this and weren’t computer generated.\n\nInspiration\n\nArtists such
  Sol Lewitt - minimalist sculptor\, and JS Bach - baroque composer\, altho
 ugh centuries apart both produced works that were obviously mathematical 
 in some way.\n\n‘In C’ is a piece of music written by the minimalist c
 omposer Terry Riley in the 1964 for an indefinite number of performers: -
  “About 35 is desirable but smaller or larger ensembles will work”. It
 ’s a good example of the use of ‘superimposition’ as a method of pr
 oducing a work of art. Repeated patterns or phrases move in and out of sy
 nc with each other and overlap to produce complex shifting forms and an o
 verall hypnotic effect. This sounds like computer music but is actually pe
 rformed on real instruments by real musicians!\n\n‘In C’ is different
  each time it’s performed\, but always conforms to the rules and the wri
 tten score. The flexibility is in the structure itself.\n\nThis method ha
 s been used to generate a lot of the imagery in this exhibition. Material
 s used for the work in this show include compressed charcoal\, pastel\, pe
 ncil\, acrylic inks\, acrylic paint\, cardboard\, wood\, plaster\, and pl
 astics.
