| The green shoots of recovery thrust their optimistic way across the walls of Jorgensen Fine Art in our Spring Exhibition, entitled Into the Garden. The critic John Ruskin described Joseph Mallord William Turner, whose work is currently on show at the National Gallery, as the artist who could most ‘stirringly and truthfully measure the moods of Nature.’ He depicted Nature at its most romantic and sublime portraying its awe-inspiring, savage grandeur untamed by man. Three centuries before Turner’s time, Giorgione painted The Tempest in which he achieved a mysteriously esoteric combination of elements which was then termed a poésie of nature. The earth, the air, the light and the human figures are all interconnected and vital one to the other. We have asked our gallery artists to follow in these artists’ illustrious footsteps and treat with nature as they see it. Many of our artists tell us that they enjoy being given a brief as the focus it furnishes sets them free to concentrate on the delivery of the subject rather than on its conception. They have not disappointed, furnishing us with an eclectic, insightful and optimistic collection of works. Among those participating in this exhibition are Liam Belton, John Brobbel, Campbell Bruce, Caroline Canning, Andrei Demin, Joe Dunne, James English, Alexey Krasnovsky, Maria Levinge, Anthony Murphy, Jackie Mitchell, Ian McAllister, Seamus O’Byrne, Tuëma Pattie, Victor Richardson, Alison Rosse, Jacqui Stanley, Rose Stapleton and Colin Watson. We have also selected works by Rose Barton, Ruth Brandt, Mildred Anne Butler, Norman Garstin, William Lee Hankey and Patrick Hickey. Síle Connaughton-Deeny, 2010 |
