A DREAM WITHIN A DREAM

13/5/2014

5 Comments

 

I am very excited about sharing A DREAM WITHIN A DREAM with paintings by Karl Bielik, Valerie Brennan, Sarah Mc Nulty, Sophie Rees, Melanie Russel and Sabine Tress.

TWITTER introduced me to the painterly paintings by Karl, Valerie and Sophie.
I am thrilled to show again with Sarah whose work sat beautifully at studio 1.1 in London.
I am also glad Matthew introduced me to Sabine's work, who I hope to meet not before too long.

One dream come true.

A DREAM WITHIN A DREAM

@ Bankley Studios & Gallery

Private View 15th May
/ 18.00 - 21.00

Continues every Saturday / 12.30 - 17.30
17th May - 7th June

"Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?"

Edgar Allan Poe 


The exhibition takes its title from a work by Sabine Tress, ‘A dream within a dream’, 2014. The Edgar Allan Poe poem which it shares the same name with is a poem about trying to  distinguish between reality and fantasy. 


In a similar way to dreaming, the activity of abstract painting often treads the line between reality and fantasy, sometimes it is hard to separate the two from each other. The unconscious state  of dreaming offers us access to different memories and ideas, whilst in painting we can often  look back at created paintings and realise that something has been included in the work from  a previous memory. 

The fully immersive activity of creating an abstract painting, with the full involvement, and the enjoyment of the process can create a kind of flow. This cognitive flow is a well accepted an idea proposed by  Hungarian psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. 

Cognitive flow suggests that some activities creates an energized focus, and results in all your attention being put into the task at hand with no more attention being left for anything else.  There is a merging of action and awareness as well as improvement of performance which results in a intrinsically rewarding experience. 

The focus of flow can offer clear goals and direction which in turn offers great feedback, giving the painter the feeling that their actions matter and have a real effect on the painting and world.

A Dream within a Dream continues a thread of Pluspace exhibitions, such as Painted Thought (2014), Without an Edge there is no Middle (2013), Form / Function (2013) and Meditations (2013), that examines contemporary painting.

As I am not sure what paintings Karl, Valerie, Sarah, Sophie, Melanie and Sabine are showing at Bankley Studios & Gallery but hope they don't mind the paintings I chose from the web to represent them.
What a shame I can't go to the Private View this Thursday and meet them.
However I  will travel to Manchester on Saturday 31 May to have a look.
Exciting, I can't wait to see it!
The following three paintings of mine are on show:

    CLAUDIA BÖSE,  a painter based in Ipswich, Suffolk.
     
    I construct my paintings through process, led by daily life, history and nature. I hope my ongoing engagement with light, colour and forms creates a new perception.

    I am inspired and guided by the painterly process and its relation to abstraction; the way I handle paint invites an audience to consider my work without prejudice.
    Decisions about when and how I use paint are also strongly guided by my empathy for work which has been created by other women painters.


    I am drawn to regions which could be described as, geographical and psychological borderlands, especially those which have been interpreted throughout history by artists and writers.

    Recently I began working in a new studio based high in the church tower of a modernist church in Ipswich; this is also adjacent to our allotment.
    The very unusual perspective in tandem with attending to plants has already provided a different grounding and enrichment for my work.
