(L-R): Pritchard, Palmer and Voss
press release continued...
The four artists represented have their own customized stockpiles of visual imagery, and an inventiveness for material resourcefulness that is both continually developing and deeply personal. What is shared among them is a primary identification with being a painter, but with an open, ecumenical perspective towards mediums, as well as an intuitive and improvisatory approach toward composition and process.
This combination of factors unites them in a sensibility that makes it hard to determine which cause, accident or intention, is in the driver’s seat. Ambiguity prevails in such a way that handwriting analysis cannot accurately interpret the personality traits behind the hand. Because these artists operate in this temperamental grey zone, the viewer is engaged with the softer, non-declarative realm of human touch and intimacy.
