SUMMARY:Naked Lunch: Naked Lunch: Presence - Not Just Collective
DESCRIPTION:Presence\nAn exhibition by Not Just Collective.\n14th February
  – 12th March.\nNaked Lunch Café\, 431 Smithdown Road\, Liverpool L15 
 3JL.\nPerformance event with music and spoken word Friday 1st March\, 7:3
 0 – 10:30PM.\nFREE ENTRY\nNot Just Collective's first exhibition of 2019
  showcases a range of affordable work by six locally-based practitioners.\
 nFormed in 2013\, this grassroots collective have exhibited in unique spac
 es across the region\, including Camp and Furnace\, the Williamson Tunnels
 \, a terraced house in L8\, a neglected community garden\, and a disused f
 abric warehouse. Continuing in this tradition of finding new and diverse s
 paces to exhibit\, this show at Naked Lunch\, at the heart of Smithdown Ro
 ad's cultural community\, will introduce a new audience to the work of loc
 al artists over a cup of coffee and without the gallery price tag.\nExhibi
 ting artists are:\nNicola Carter\nIn the for North-East of Anglesey sits W
 ylfa Nuclear Power Station - mothballed\, maintained subject to political 
 and financial wrangling.\nMostly when you walk on the surrounding cliffs i
 t sits in your vision like a squat toxic mass. Sometimes when the mist and
  rain drift through on the prevailing winds you imagine softening and diss
 olving. And sometimes imagination takes over and What If it wasn’t the
 re at all?\nTony Jaycott\nTony Jaycott creates elaborate illustrations wit
 h watercolour crayons - a medium he was introduced to by his art teacher i
 n high school after claiming that he can draw\, but can't use any traditio
 nal painting methods. A love affair with the crayons was born\, and he nev
 er looked back.\nEach piece almost looks like a panel pulled from the midd
 le of a graphic novel. Peculiar\, subversive scenes that oscillate on an i
 nvisible line between brooding passion and haunting melancholy. Often inte
 rwoven with ornate designs that seem to be just as ordered and symmetrical
  as they are organic and frenzied.\nTony O'Connell\nTony O’Connell’s r
 ecent concerns have been informed by group shows and tend to be related to
  ideas around shadow and ritual. Archetypal figures of demons and angels s
 ometimes arise amid dark places and objects. In contrast\, bright places a
 nd objects suggest holy relics with some sense of presence but with an ope
 n significance. In Tony’s work\, he tries to let go of conscious control
  of these patterns and allow images to form in apparently unrelated ways\,
  and\, if necessary\, to analyse their meaning afterwards.\nPatrick O'Rour
 ke\nRooted in ideas of class and place\, Patrick’s work is informed by 
 his time producing commissioned portraits\, murals and public art in both 
 England and Sydney\, Australia\, but is grounded by his surroundings and n
 otions of memory. From the urban landscape of the council estates of his c
 hildhood\, to portraits of people trapped within a personal narrative they
  can’t escape\, Patrick uses an unlikely mix of spray paint and pastel t
 o connect to the viewer on a personal level.\nChris Reynolds\nThe physical
  process of drawing and mark making are key in Chris Reynolds’ practice\
 , and it is her aim to approach each canvas as she would a sketchbook.\nTh
 e pieces in this exhibition have evolved by using elements direct from nat
 ure. Using and manipulating non-traditional materials as tools to draw wit
 h (grass and twigs from her garden) enabled Chris to map and respond to he
 r personal environment\, creating works that are intuitive\, fluid and spo
 ntaneous.\nNicola Roscoe-Calvert\nNicola Roscoe-Calvert's mixed media piec
 es explore history\, folklore\, literature\, and the interplay between the
  natural and urban environment.\nThe relationship between the written word
  and visual object is a recurring theme in her work\, from the use of auto
 matic writing (Conscious Regressions)\, to painted poetry (Tonight the Win
 ds Begin to Rise)\, to the scripture which forms part of Ill Eye\, Ill To
 ngue.\nThis new work is inspired by Richard Adams’ Watership Down\, in 
 which an imagined lapine language and mythology are interwoven with a tale
  of survival amidst the brutality of nature and the indifference of Man.\n
