SUMMARY:Gostins Building: LightNight 2017: We are so Lightly Here
DESCRIPTION:WE ARE SO LIGHTLY HERE…\n17:00 – 22:00 Gostins Building\nEx
 hibitions\n\n32 - 36 Hanover Street\nL1 4LN\n\nMore here\n\nThis exhibitio
 n of recent work by artist Paul Mellor considers themes of isolation\, mel
 ancholy\, history\, memory\, loss\, allegory and mortality and displays an
  almost naive faith in the continuing relevance of painting in a digital a
 ge.\n\nPaul Mellor studied fine art (painting) at Wimbledon School of Art 
 and has continued to make and exhibit work nationally and internationally 
 in the media of film\, video\, printmaking and photography.   He returne
 d to painting in 2010.\n\nPaul’s new work deliberately references\, both
  obliquely and directly\, particular artists (sometimes individual paintin
 gs) that have influenced him sinc he was a student\, and others picked up 
 along the way. These influences include Piero della Francesca\, Titian\, V
 elazquez\, Friedrich\, Gauguin\, Manet\, Munch\, Hopper\, Bacon\, and Rich
 ter\, as well as auteur filmmakers such as Herzog\, Pasolini\, Wenders\, V
 isconti\, Antonioni and Tarkovsky.\n\nA recurring concern of Paul’s work
  is to open a dialogue that seeks to interpret a psychological space more 
 representative of a state of mind than any specific place\, frequently emp
 loying the same themes\, tropes and motifs – the melancholic rhetoric of
  distant horizons\, windows and mirrors\, isolated figures viewed from beh
 ind\, and empty spaces and desolate landscapes that suggest an estranged r
 eality and vulnerability. Frequently using source material from a range of
  digital reproductions (art books\, film stills\, postcards etc)\, the fin
 ished works offer representations governed by contingency and removed from
  their points of origin that seek to question the idea of memory\, (both p
 rivate and collective\, its failure\, illusion and ambiguity)\, history\, 
 and the human condition.
