PURE
CINDY CAMPBELL
3–20 October
Translating the embodiment of emotion into a contemplation on canvas, Campbell uses paint to reflect her state. PURE is both an expression of Campbell’s inner landscape and an interpretation of her surroundings. This series of paintings and ceramics works in harmony, humming with layers of colour and feeling, inviting close inspection while rejecting distraction and chaos.
Employing colour to communicate a state of being, Campbell pairs repetitive brushstrokes with tonal layers to convey how the experience of a moment is composed of many moments gone before. In memory, in our body, in our environment: our present is a coalescence of the past.
“This exhibition is a reemergence, as I return to my creative self after time focussed on other work. I’m excited to exhibit my paintings and ceramics and bring people together; to me it feels like a celebration. I love to create beautiful things.
Creativity can be expressed in many ways: the way you talk to someone, the way you make people feel, the way you are in a space, the way you cook and share a meal. I hope to ignite a spark of creativity within those who visit ‘PURE’”
–Cindy Campbell.
Please join us for a drink to celebrate the opening of PURE on Friday 4 October (6–8PM)
