SUMMARY:dot-art Gallery: dot-art: Arboretum
DESCRIPTION:Arboretum Exhibition at dot-art Gallery\nFeaturing art by six l
 ocal artists\, Arboretum showcases the enduring relationship we have with 
 our botanical cohabitants\; a source of creative inspiration for hundreds 
 of years\, figures of poetic symbolism and worship\, emblems of calm and t
 ranquillity – Arboretum celebrates the tree. From soft\, wistful landsca
 pes to bold and vertiginous lines\, this exhibition has been curated to be
  a symbiotic forest of naturalism and abstraction.\nHilary Dron layers oi
 l and cold wax to create dense thickets of texture in her paintings. Her c
 ollection of abstract Pines and Silver Birches depict windows of reimagine
 d adventures from her travels from Liverpool to Ireland and Japan. Althoug
 h exploiting a vibrant palette\, each woodland scene evokes a deeply quiet
  aesthetic through her use of generous layering.\nWirral-based painter A
 manda Oliphant believes in forming a kinship with the natural world throu
 gh her art\, highlighting and exposing elements that often go unnoticed to
  others. Her oil and acrylic landscapes showcase the twisting hollows of w
 eather beaten trees beneath atmospheric skies\, her clever use of negative
  space placing her solitary trees centre stage.\nHazel Thomson is a seaso
 ned “Arborealist”. Having painted many of her stunning landscapes in C
 heshire and Liverpool\, Hazel’s body of work reflects her intimate obser
 vations of forests throughout their cyclic conservation and regrowth\, bot
 h cold and exposed and lush and green. Her realistic representation captur
 es the gentle movement of dappled light and the rushing sounds of leaves.\
 nFor Liverpool-based artist Frank Linnett the importance of having visib
 le references to ‘real’ things in his paintings\, even if the piece do
 es not reflect a definite reality\, can be seen throughout his collection 
 in Arboretum. The contrast of delicate Birchwood branches against soft pas
 tels creates an effective and surreal aesthetic\, whilst transporting the 
 individual viewer to a specific and nostalgic place.\nRob Edmondson’s a
 rt is a true reflection of the beautiful Lancashire landscape where he liv
 es. The focus of his art is deeply introspective\, as for each piece he co
 nsiderately questions the choice of natural subject matter. Rob’s bold a
 nd lush palette is refreshing and invigorating to take in and illustrates 
 the organic beauty found in every season.\nJoe Thompson is a Liverpool-ba
 sed painter whose Arboretum series of work portrays soft and looming wood
 land scenes. Taking inspiration from his own travels\, Joe translates his 
 observations onto the canvas\, perfectly capturing the fleeting glimpses o
 f light breaking through the canopy.\nThe exhibition starts on 16th March
  and runs to Saturday 28th April. Entry is free.\nThe dot-art Gallery can
  be found at 14 Queen Avenue\, Castle Street\, Liverpool\, L2 4TX (just 
 5 minutes’ walk from Liverpool One). Opening times: Monday – Saturda
 y\, 10am-6pm
