‘The White & Black Show’ has challenged seven artists from the North West to create a representation of a building or place which they feel an attachment to.
This exhibition merges the individual visions of both amateur & professional artists from many generations. The paintings & drawings produced have instinctively fused together a reminiscent exploration of how the building was in the height of their memory & an illustrative commentary on what remains of that place today. Through this amalgamation of sentiment with description, a dialogue develops. The artist offers their recollections of atmosphere & spirit while the audience identifies the building/place (or their parallel) but answers with their own experiences & connections.
