Goth in a Landscape

AN EXHIBITION OF PAINTINGS AT ABERYSTWYTH SCHOOL OF ART

‘A group exhibition of contemporary landscape painting 

‘Goth in a landscape’ explores the oddness of being human in the everyday landscape.   

Being human can be mundane and ridiculous, melancholic and traumatic. Many of us have been Goths in a landscape at some point in our lives, feeling a little dark and out of place. What and who we are is forever played out on the stage of the vast and transforming landscape in which we live.   

The painters included in this exhibition have been invited to explore self-identity within a sense of place. They are well known internationally and work from Wales, England, France, Canada and the United States of America. All the artists start with painting to express their ideas. Some go beyond traditional painting, incorporating performance, installation, and sculpture. Others stay on canvas but use colour and paint in new and creative ways.  

We live in a world which sometimes embraces our unique oddness, and painting is a form of that expression. '
