How The Light Gets In 2016


The world’s largest philosophy and music festival returns to Hay-on-Wye – How The Light Gets In  runs from 26th May – June 5th 2016.  Bringing together 700 carefully curated events that will make you think, talk, dance and play in the beautiful setting of Hay.. Nobel Prize-winners and Mercury Prize-nominees alike gather in one place for a week of thought and entertainment.

This year New Blood Art are curating an art show in association with the festival and on the festival theme of ‘The Known, the Strange and the New’ located at The Globe the show includes work by 6 New Blood Art artists.

Dominating the space will be Orlanda Broom‘s exotic, mysterious, dangerous and seductive paintings of a quietly unsettling paradise. Alongside these over-ripe landscapes sit abstracted natural forms by Julie-Ann Simpson, playing with memory to question our preconceptions of the natural world. The figurative and abstract of everyday life collide in Carlos San Millan‘s expressive brushstrokes, whilst Emiko Aida‘s delicate ‘haiku’ works delve into identity and the relationship between modern and traditional cultures. John Clark explores the physicality of being human, using light and tone in strange bodiless heads and limbs floating in space, whilst Joanna Hulin appropriates images of strangers, re-painted into unsettling portraits, forcing us to confront taboos of loss and mortality..

See below some shots of the art hang in progress..
