Ffostyll, Spring (What Lies Beneath) - Wayne Summers 2023 Acrylic on canvas, W1m x H1m
|
RidgeBank is excited to be re-opening this spring with a solo exhibition by local artist Wayne Summers. Following a successful series of exhibitions in 2022 which aimed to reflect our local landscape, Wayne’s work will continue this theme. Examining the traces of prehistoric monuments, including the nearby timber henge at Hindwell, Summers' current paintings attempt to decipher the past. Without recording specific topographies, the work seeks to engage the viewer in a contemplation of a vanished and inexplicable past to reassert the value of mystery, in a world largely predicated on the empirical. Summers' paintings feel like archaeological finds in themselves, a hoard of allegorical remnants straddling past and present, offering visual windows into the lives and landscape of our distant ancestors. |
