Detailing Life: From Pencil Shavings to Wind Turbines


In this curated selection, we see equal attention paid to macro and micro. Stephen Todd’s Deep in Sleep (Offshore- North Sea) is a slow and contemplative image, displaying a vast expanse of ocean. Mottled light spreads across the image as figure and ground dissolve, become one. Yet Todd’s painting is not a straightforward landscape, giving weight and attention to detail the offshore wind farms at the heart of the image, it asks what role the ocean might play in a sustainable, better future. Contrasting the breadth of Todd’s image, is the up-close depiction of Rosemary Burn’s Pencil Shavings, giving new life to the quotidian. Discarded shavings from the drawing process become subject matter as we reflect on their sculptural curved form. In our latest selection, detail is key. Take and look and find an array of approaches, ideas, mediums and scales, all of which embrace the use of detail in the work.
