Figures In The Fields
Artists Jake Fairweather and Negin Dastgheib present a joint exhibition Figures in the fields.
Jake investigates what makes Modernist paintings and animation compelling to watch. How do technical mechanisms on the canvas/screen, such as gradations of tone, temperature, depth, undulating horizons and open forms engage and immerse the viewer.
Negin paints from old
family photograph which were taken during the
Iranian
Revolution. Her images are of simple family outings yet
her
use of neutral colours and fluid paint techniques not
only represent
the elusive nature of history and memory,
they give a sense that the
figures are under some sort of
threat.
Jake and Negin are currently undertaking their honors year for a Bachelor of Fine Arts. They both specialize in painting and share similar influences from late modernist painters.
