Corpus Fine Arts: Absence
Dates / Times – 10 – 21 May 2005, daily 10am – 6pm (late night to 8pm Thursdays) closed Sundays
The show is entitled ABSENCE as it features work which explores landscapes, cityscapes and interiors which are devoid of the human life that created them.
Where there should be crowds, bustle, excitement, people going about their daily business – there is emptiness, silence, absence
As well as being beautiful, the paintings examine the impermanence of humanity – inviting us to imagine what might remain once we are gone.
The artists draw on techniques used by mapmakers as well as more traditional fine art motifs. The paintings are made with a variety of media including acrylic on canvas, oil on glass and oil on board.
