Seeing Differently
Seeing Differently shows the works of three contemporary artists whose practices offer distinct yet intersecting approaches to abstract painting.
Seeing Differently brings together three exciting contemporary artists - Jessie Woodward, George Henry Rowe, and Emma Anne (House of Abstract) - whose practices offer distinct yet intersecting approaches to abstract painting.
The exhibition showcases their different approaches and, through the contrasting processes, shines a light on how it can be simultaneously pre-defined, emergent, and in the mind of the viewer.
Each artist engages with abstraction uniquely: instinctive and embodied mark making that is both intuitive yet planned, systemic and technological construction and deconstruction shaped by memories and cultural artefacts, and the accumulation and reworking of surfaces informed by the textures of the urban.
Together, the exhibition proposes abstraction as an active process - one in which intention is constructed through gesture, system, and surface. By bringing these approaches into dialogue, Seeing Differently invites a reconsideration of how abstract painting is made, experienced, and understood.
