Sky, Night, Silver and Words: four artists in exhibition
The connection between nature and words is explored in Art Statements Gallery's latest exhibition.
nature and words is explored in Art Statements Gallery's latest exhibition Sky, Night, Silver and Words, which features works by four international artists: Troels Worsel from Denmark, Andy Wauman from Belgium, JonOne, an American artist based in France, and Dale Frank from Australia.
Gallery founder Dominique Perregaux curated the show around the use of words and natural materials in art. While "natural elements" are external to humans, words are a tool ingrained in our everyday life, he adds.
By presenting these media alongside one another, Perregaux hopes to make sense of how humans interpret themselves and their relationship with the natural world. "Humans are part of nature; but we have also created things that go beyond the natural state, such as words, language and art," he says. "These artists use words and natural elements to create a reflection of what makes us human."
The four artists selected for the exhibition represent a range of art forms and will each present their own interpretation of the theme.
Worsel, a self-taught painter whose interests lie in pop art and conceptual art, will feature acrylic paintings that include words and calligraphy imprinted on the canvas. He has won awards for his unique method of painting on the reverse of the canvas and this technique will help highlight the metal element of the frame.
