SUMMARY:dot-art Gallery: dot-art: Reflections
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nAn exhibition featuring Clare Wrench\, Carol Miller\, Lor
 na Morris\, Rob Edmondson\, Jacob Gourley and John O’Neill.\n\n\n\nA new
  exhibition at dot-art\, ‘Reflections’ is open to the viewer’s inter
 pretation of the word. Some may envision sky reflected in bodies of water\
 , mirror images or perhaps are drawn to a more personal reading of inward-
 looking moments of reflection. The artists in this exhibition have interpr
 eted the theme through these various lenses and offer up their diverse art
 istic approaches through portraiture\, landscape and photography to suppor
 t the viewer’s own contemplation of what ‘Reflections’ mean to them.
 \n\n\n\nClare Wrench – Clare has always loved to paint reflections on w
 ater\, incorporating this in her landscapes and cityscapes. She is inspire
 d by Claude Monet's impressionist waterlilies series and fascinated by how
  light reflects off the surface of the water. “Reflections upon water ar
 e 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 mirrored 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 – Ja
 cob’s practice is often figurative\, utilising social commentary and ima
 gined worlds as parallel styles\, both in balance between realism and abst
 raction. Pre-pandemic\, Jacob drew inspiration from his day-to-day travel.
  The outcome was a body of work which depicts rail and bus passengers in a
  public transport setting. Since then Jacob's work has migrated to the 'Lo
 tus' series\, marking a turn in his practice towards a more other worldly/
 surreal type of work.\n\n\n\nLorna Morris – “'Twinkling Waves’\, is
  a view from the shores of Lake Coniston in the Lake District The silhouet
 te is my daughter\, but she is also you\, the spectator. Three distinct fo
 rms of water: clouds\, steam and the ripples from the gondola all reflect 
 and refract the same evening sky. 'Reflections of Rockcliffe\,' is of Rock
 cliffe beach viewed through the reflections of a mirror in Port Donnel Cot
 tage. I played in the little rockpools at Rockcliffe as a small child. The
  mirror symbolises the many years that have come and gone and my distance 
 from the past.\n\n\n\nCarol Miller – Although primarily a painter\, Car
 ol also takes photographs. She uses contemplative photography\, focusing o
 n taking the time to actually see\, reflecting on the present\, becoming a
 ware of what is surrounding her to reveal richness and beauty that is ofte
 n overlooked. Instead of emphasizing subject matter or the technical aspec
 ts 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 studi
 ed illustration in Cambridge and completed a Fine Art Degree at Liverpool 
 John Moores University. Liverpool’s rich and varied architectural herita
 ge contrasting with the new urban skyline provides material for John’s e
 volving cityscapes. The movement of light and transient colour changes inf
 luences his expressive responses in drawing and painting and provides endl
 ess inspiration for his creative process.\n\n\n\nRob Edmondson – “Muc
 h of my work is based on the landscape of the North of England\, I revel i
 n the physical manipulation of the paint and experimenting with unusual te
 chniques. Implicit in each painting is the use of light\, colour\, depth\,
  and movement. Through visual devices I hope to capture the soul\, in esse
 nce the mood of each special\, secret place. This quote from Roald Dahl\, 
 could summarize my approach to art\, “And above all\, watch with glitter
 ing eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are alway
 s hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic wil
 l never find it.””\n\n\n\nAll artworks are for sale.\n\n\n\nExhibition
  continues Friday 26th May - Saturday 15th July.\n\n\n\nVISIT: Tuesday - S
