Let It
Fall
Brendan Colvert lives and works on the small Scottish island of Sanday, Orkney.
Since arriving at this remote outpost 12 years ago he has committed his time to
painting as a daily ritual and purpose. In filtering the complex relationship
between the tranquility and wildness of this immutable archipelago, and the
complexities of the world beyond, Colvert has created an extraordinary body of
work, with a unique vision and a universal frame of
reference.
“For me making Art is a process of exploration hopefully leading toward a
deeper understanding of our physical and psychological environment; a
clarification of the sort of world we inhabit and our relationship to
it.”
Alternative modernism and secular aesthetic has made shy the referencing of
spiritual in art, but Colvert’s new paintings and drawings conjure
references to landscapes, seascapes, inshore environments, and of our psycho
spiritual relation to them. Deeply imbued with a sense of timelessness this new
body of work draws us towards a deeper relationship with our nature and matters
affecting the human
spirit.
Colvert’s references are both personal and universal containing a mix of
abstract and figurative elements. Often with an element of humour the work is
characterised by both conscious and unconscious motivations allowing strands of
narrative to lead the way, or left unresolved suggesting meanings that are
obscure, mysterious, and
unknown.
This will be the first solo exhibition of the artists work in London, and a
unique opportunity to see new work created specifically for the gallery at
Campbell Works. The exhibition will include painting and drawing. All work will
be available for
sale.
