CHRISTOPHER CAMPBELL 'New Romantic' 7th - 30th September private view Thursday 6th 6 - 9 pm New Romantic is a series of landscape paintings taking account of art history - from Friedrich and Turner to the Hudson River School, documents of an old landscape being seen anew, disregarded wildernesses transformed at a Romantic stroke into embodiments of the Sublime. As well as art's history, though, there's a keen awareness of its present and more recent past. Abstract elements and graphic motifs intrude, setting up a friction, an irreconcilable dualism of the precisely figurative and the experimental. The aim, in Campbell's own words, is 'to create a world that is fantastical, disturbing and somewhat aloof'. (Christopher Campbell is the winnner of studio1.1's 2011 Lottery Show draw) This year's Lottery Show limited edition (500) print by Giorgio Sadotti will be available to buy for £10 at the gallery. The draw will take place during Frieze weekend in October. studio1.1 57a Redchurch St London E2 7DJ tubes: Shoreditch High St/Liverpool St/Old St bus: 8, 26, 35, 47, 48, 149, 344, 388 email: [email protected] tel: 07952 986696 web: http://www.studio1-1.co.uk open: Wednesday to Sunday 12-6 pm or by appointment |
