Life.....Made for Art.

Event Details

On the 10th February a new exhibition will be opening at the Crocus Gallery. Titled ‘Life...made for Art’. This show is about Life as the foundation of Art.

The launch event will be held on opening night, Friday 10th February between 6-9pm. The show will run until Saturday 3rd March, opening times 11-4pm Tuesday- Saturday Organised by Rachel Tait, our new curator, this exhibition has been designed to give new artists the opportunity for the very first time to get their work on show to the public. The resulting collection of artworks brings a diverse array of styles from sober sketch of nudes to large finished canvases exploring different aesthetic experiences. As young, and “newly born to art” all the artists on show bring fresh talent to Nottingham. The show includes eight artist’s artworks from their own perceptions and their everyday life experiences.

For example, the binocular object questions a sense of sight, particularly questioning the role of a “viewer” or a “viewed” subject in a society where appearance is very important, even fundamental in our daily social relationships. Artists on show: Lucie Ellis, Emma Hardiman, Rebecca Lewis, Katie Downing, Celeste Weatherhead, Ellis Sharpe, Charles Harrop-Griffiths and Charlotte Keeble.
