Transition 2
Welcome to Transition, a two-part exhibition, taking place at the George Crossan Gallery and Gate House Gallery during July and August 2020. When we came together as a group of artists, we had two ideas, the theme ‘Transition’ that would be a catalyst for our individual projects, and that we would, all adopt an experimental approach to the development of our work. We had no idea of what was to come, and that
we would be making this work during a global pandemic and under the restrictions of lockdown.
Every artist is to some degree, influenced and inspired by the times in which they live and in this show, you will undoubtedly discern some evidence of the stresses and concerns of life during the days of the Covid 19 virus. For many it was a time of anxiety, but in the quiet that came with the suspension of much of ‘normal life’, we were able to hear the birds more clearly and perhaps wonder if a subtle shift might be taking place within society, that all of life was somehow in ‘Transition’. We hope you will enjoy both exhibitions that the work is the starting point for further discussion and speculation.
