SUMMARY:dot-art Gallery: dot-art: Reflections Private View
DESCRIPTION:\nJoin us on Thursday 25th May\, 17:00 - 19:00 for the launch a
 nd private view of our new exhibition 'Reflections'.\nBOOK FREE TICKETS H
 ERE\n\n\n\nAn exhibition featuring Clare Wrench\, Carol Miller\, Lorna Mor
 ris\, Rob Edmondson\, Jacob Gourley and John O’Neill.\n\n\n\nA new exhib
 ition at dot-art\, ‘Reflections’ is open to the viewer’s interpretat
 ion of the word. Some may envision sky reflected in bodies of water\, mirr
 or images or perhaps are drawn to a more personal reading of inward-lookin
 g moments of reflection. The artists in this exhibition have interpreted t
 he theme through these various lenses and offer up their diverse artistic 
 approaches through portraiture\, landscape and photography to support the 
 viewer’s own contemplation of what ‘Reflections’ mean to them.\n\n\n
 \nClare Wrench – Clare has always loved to paint reflections on water\,
  incorporating this in her landscapes and cityscapes. She is inspired by C
 laude Monet's impressionist waterlilies series and fascinated by how light
  reflects off the surface of the water. “Reflections upon water are one 
 of my favourite things to paint\, such as a ripple in the water of a lake 
 causing a distortion in the image reflected. Water can also reflect a mirr
 ored image which often takes the form of a pattern\, abstract shape or the
  unusual forms on a crest of a wave.”\n\n\n\nJacob Gourley – Jacob’
 s practice is often figurative\, utilising social commentary and imagined 
 worlds as parallel styles\, both in balance between realism and abstractio
 n. Pre-pandemic\, Jacob drew inspiration from his day-to-day travel. The o
 utcome was a body of work which depicts rail and bus passengers in a publi
 c transport setting. Since then Jacob's work has migrated to the 'Lotus' s
 eries\, marking a turn in his practice towards a more other worldly/surrea
 l type of work.\n\n\n\nLorna Morris – “'Twinkling Waves’\, is a vie
 w from the shores of Lake Coniston in the Lake District The silhouette is 
 my daughter\, but she is also you\, the spectator. Three distinct forms of
  water: clouds\, steam and the ripples from the gondola all reflect and re
 fract the same evening sky. 'Reflections of Rockcliffe\,' is of Rockcliffe
  beach viewed through the reflections of a mirror in Port Donnel Cottage. 
 I played in the little rockpools at Rockcliffe as a small child. The mirro
 r symbolises the many years that have come and gone and my distance from t
 he past.\n\n\n\nCarol Miller – Although primarily a painter\, Carol als
 o takes photographs. She uses contemplative photography\, focusing on taki
 ng the time to actually see\, reflecting on the present\, becoming aware o
 f what is surrounding her to reveal richness and beauty that is often over
 looked. Instead of emphasizing subject matter or the technical aspects of 
 photography\, the contemplative approach allows her to see and make images
  based on fresh perceptions. The resulting images are edited on her phone 
 using a basic photography app.\n\n\n\nJohn O’Neill – John studied ill
 ustration in Cambridge and completed a Fine Art Degree at Liverpool John M
 oores University. Liverpool’s rich and varied architectural heritage con
 trasting with the new urban skyline provides material for John’s evolvin
 g cityscapes. The movement of light and transient colour changes influence
 s his expressive responses in drawing and painting and provides endless in
 spiration for his creative process.\n\n\n\nRob Edmondson – “Much of m
 y work is based on the landscape of the North of England\, I revel in the 
 physical manipulation of the paint and experimenting with unusual techniqu
 es. Implicit in each painting is the use of light\, colour\, depth\, and m
 ovement. Through visual devices I hope to capture the soul\, in essence th
 e mood of each special\, secret place. This quote from Roald Dahl\, could 
 summarize my approach to art\, “And above all\, watch with glittering ey
 es the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidd
 en in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will neve
 r find it.””\n\n\n\nAll artworks are for sale.\n\n\n\nExhibition conti
 nues Friday 26th May - Saturday 15th July.\n\n\n\nVISIT: Tuesday - Saturda
 y\, 10:00 - 18:00\n\n\n\nContact Us / Visit Us / Find Out More\n
