An exhibition of abstract sculpture and painting by nine multigenerational women and non-binary contemporary artists from London, the North and Ireland, curated by TSM.
TSM have invited three sculptors and, for the first time, three painters to show with them.
Jackie Askew, painter (Ireland)
Day Bowman, painter (London)
Katrina Cowling, sculptor (Bradford/London)
Charlotte Cullen,sculptor (Leeds)
Beatrice Galletley, sculptor (London)
Ellen Ranson, painter (Durham)
Many contemporary artists make works that are abstract, yet they do not define them as such. TSM want to reclaim the word and open up conversations about how abstract sculpture and painting speaks to many through their visual languages which, through use of material and space refers indirectly to the complex world we live in. Visual concepts of form, spatial relationships, presentation and visual independence will become apparent across the works in the show, fuelling discussions that explore and dissect the language surrounding the artists’ respective practices and how they each engage with ideas.
Informal artists’ tour – Sunday 15th December, 2-4.
Public discussion, chaired by curator and writer Natalie Rudd, 18th January, 2-5.
Everyone welcome.
