New Paintings, Artist Books and Polaroids
Tatha Gallery, Newport on Tay, 5th October - 2nd November 2019
This new body of work takes as its starting point the idea of ‘Arcadia’, as a real place but also an imagined place or landscape. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe travelled through Italy in between 1786-1788 and on a visit to Rome was welcomed into the Society of Arcadians, which he describes in detail.
My Arcadia paintings are inspired by an entry in his diary when he travelled to Sicily, and whilst walking through the Public Gardens in Palermo it's great beauty and natural abundance awoke in him a vision of the antique world and Homer's description in The Odyssey of Phaeacia's Gardens.
