I am delighted to have two paintings selected for this group show which focuses on the materials used to create each artwork. The works selected for this exhibition will show a range of disciplines that explore how a range of pigments can be derived from different types of rocks, how materials like metal and glass and clay can be transformed by heat and pressure, or how chemicals can transform light into an impression of an object.
Alchemical (adjective) - relating to or characteristic of alchemy, the medieval forerunner of chemistry concerned with the transmutation of matter. Involving a seemingly magical process of transformation, creation, or combination.
