ʻNew Matterʼ
15.07.16 - 30.07.16
Private View: Friday 15th July 2016 6-9pm
Line Gallery, Stroud, Gloucestershire
ʻNew Matterʼ is a solo exhibition of new paintings by Aidan Myers.
Myersʼ painting's inhabit the spaces between the body and material world, a space in
which the realm of the body and the materiality of the medium are expressed through
gesture. Focussing attention upon the energetic processes that result in form, Myersʼ
compositions makes visible the tensions, resistances and co-operations between human
and non-human agents — an autobiographical rendering of invisible interplays between
matter, physiology and the cosmos.
Myersʼ activity of painting is like a dance between hand, brush, paint and canvas in
which each take the lead at different moments of the activity; a dialogue between
human and non-human worlds. This emerging choreography is expressed through
gesture, a literal composition of material, chemical and bodily worlds fixed in paint.
The ambiguous presentation of forms remains potential and open, one hand constantly
held out inviting the viewer to continue the choreography through their own perceptual
involvement as they strive to find significance in un-recognisable forms.
Line Gallery is intended to support and enliven the careers of emerging artists, giving
them a platform from which to exhibit work without creative constraints or financial
commitment. The curators Jessie James and Rosalie Darien Jones strive to show work of
all media and from all backgrounds with the aim of creating a space for the development
of new ideas and nurturing artistic excellence
