We each have our own landscape

[column-group][column][/column][column]24th-28th July 2019We Each Have Our Own Landscape reflects a personal element in landscape.Each artist explores a sense of place as a metaphor for the exploration of the psyche.Hypnotic waves that peak and fall in a repeating visual mantra, horizons that speak ofa future… almost fictional, landscape employed as a stage, nature anthropomorphised.The title of this show references the idea of locating one’s self both within a present,remembered or imagined landscape and also the emotional landscape we each inhabit.We are primed by Romanticism; offering landscape as an opportunity to create a contextfor oneself; it is at once a place and a visual representation of an emotional state.Building on this romantic tradition of the sublime, there is an established trajectorythat considers the mind-scape. Kant established the idea that the connectionbetween nature and man, is man’s imagination. Landscape offers an orthodoxythat is familiar, that instantly brings the viewer into the understanding that theyare participating in the work. The viewer summons a philosophical convention to thereading of the work.However living in the Anthropocene age we humans require too much of nature… weimbue landscape with an artifice that it clearly can not support. Therefore we are all onthe verge of processing a shift in our relationship with nature.For more information about the artists, please visit:www.rebeccabradleyartist.comwww.emmacoop.comwww.louisamahony.com24th—28th July 12—6pmPrivate view: Wednesday 24th July 6—9pmLewisham Arthouse140 Lewisham WaySE15 3BJLondon
