Micky Allan, Wave
April 26 - May 24, Exhibition opening event; Saturday April 26th 2-4pm

Through paintings and engravings on glass over mixed media drawings, Wave refers not just to the physical sea, but also to the waves of feeling and thought that rise and fall away in the viewer as they stand before an individual work or step back to experience the totality of the show.

It aims to create reflective spaces that feel physical, puts gentleness on a par with the bold, and opens to the possibility of an eternity that is dynamic and not fixed.

Wave moves between abstraction (the liquid flux of water and light in the sea) and figuration (divers, fish, seahorses) as if these two are not opposites but part of the same fluid continuum.
