A BOX ARTS CLUB EVENT
Paranormal
An exhibition of psychic phenomena; life drawing ‘taken’ from the vaults, images from dead artists whose works, little more than looking-glass reflections of lost worlds that sought to immortalise the rich and powerful, have become ghosts that hardly speak to us now, return recast reborn for our times upon the old and discarded remains from this age of consumerism. Packaging appearing like stained and figured hides that drape the chamber walls now reflect not light but paint, itself. Not there to contrive immortality of the commonplace but declare autonomy of its language, as visual poetry, here of the human form, ‘of and from’ those ghosts denying their flesh while their spirit lives through successive rebirths and innovation, the mother of true creativity.
Booking essential, admission free. Please use link below for further information.
Landscapes and Figures
Helen Simms’s paintings explore the psychic traces of memory and place – the unseen energy that lingers between the real and the imagined. Her ethereal abstractions hover between landscape and dream, layering translucent colour and intuitive marks to evoke fleeting atmospheres and emotional echoes.
In dialogue with Joss Whittle’s spectral figures, Simms’s works become meditative portals into interior landscapes – haunted yet alive, revealing the quiet poetry of what lies beyond sight.
