Gestures

Online Exhibition: November 1st - December 31st 2021

​

As the year draws to a close The High Performance Art Gallery is rounding off 2021 with a celebration of the superb artists that we represent along with a preview of work from two new artists debuting with the Gallery in 2022.

​

This group show brings together artists working across varied mediums, subjects, scales and interpretations of form. The thread that connects each artwork is the universal notion of 'Gestures'.

A gesture can be explicit or subtle, expansive or modest, direct or layered in complexities, permanent or fleeting.

​

Artists by their very nature are able to produce a gesture with a simple brush stroke or through a monumental creation in bronze or marble. What they convey is not just emotion, expression and reflection of the self, but a question to the viewer with no right or wrong answer.

"What do you see? What do you feel? What memories does this gesture evoke?"

​

From the organic intricately crafted scorched steel sculptures of Jang Yongsun to the fragmented faces of Daniel Pérez to Nikki Taylor's diaphanous human and animal forms. Each artist employs a unique set of skills and intuitive feel to convey their own form of Gesture.

​

This exhibition features work from the following artists: Jang Yongsun, Daniel Perez, Nikki Taylor, Danni Bradford, Michael Speller, Michael-Francis Cartwright, Richard Thornton, Zil Hoque, Shona Nunan, Nix, Jacob Cartwright, Jill Berelowitz, Jo Vane, Lorne McKean, Angela Palmer and Sollai Cartwright.
