VIGOR AND
CONSTRUCTION
Wellington High School
Open daily 11.00am - 5.00pm.
Vigor and Construction is a show of work by 7th Form Painting at Wellington High School.
It shows the variety of approaches that can be taken towards the practice of painting, and the enthusiasm with which the artists have approached the subject.
It is a dialogue and a conversation with the multiplicity of ways and means of working in the fine arts, both active and dormant. Modern painting is a broad and active discipline, and this show reflects that diversity and depth of ideas.
It looks damn good.
