abstracts,
is a collection of works by the artist dmcq. The
exhibition consists of a selection of large and small format
paintings produced between 2013 and the present. A number of these
were exhibited in Eastside Gallery, Belfast last year and will be
augmented by some recent and unseen works.
Themes
of rhythm, dance and movement, tranquillity, reflection and presence
are all explored as the paintings flow through a world of
abstractness.
Throughout,
colour and shape are abundant.
Shades
cross, textures drag while colours overlap and merge, creating forms,
occupying the surrounding space.
The
works are never planned, they are in the moment. Oils are applied to
the canvas with palette knives and
found
objects, often painted on the floor, on the horizontal plane,
grounded. The resulting shapes and colour illuminate and captivate
the imagination. Their abstract and what may seem, chaotic nature,
unveiling a colourful conscious play stretching into their titles.
In
the end,one sees what one wants to see, the formless nature of the
works, flirting with colour, alive in their space. In the eyes of the
beholder.
an electronic soundscape, amorphous produced by apollo59 (aka
dmcq) will accompany
the exhibition and will feature on random days.
