WHERE WE LIVE


Where We Live brings together paintings by Trevor Burgess, Jonathan Hooper, Mandy Payne, Narbi Price and Judith Tucker to examine overlooked and under-regarded aspects of the landscape we inhabit today. Presenting five locations across England, the works on display interrogate the social landscape of England at a time of profound political and social change. Each series of paintings offers the viewer multiple perspectives on the notion of home and our sense of place. Tensions in the images between legacies of the past, the reality of the present and often conflicting visions of the future are layered with poetic texts foregrounding the voices of the residents.
Where We Live has been initiated by Trevor Burgess, whose collaborative projects as an artist-curator explore the contemporary practice of painting and its social context. The exhibition launched at Alan Baxter Gallery, London in autumn 2021 and will be touring nationally through 2022 and 2023.

This exhibition comes after a year of waiting, during which time much has changed. What hasnt is the pleasure of seeing paintings in the flesh. Much has been made of the ability to hold virtual exhibitions but what is lost is the sheer physical presence of painting. When the singularity of the decisions made of size, scale and texture and the complexity of colour are reduced to a virtual world all these things are lost. All the artists showing here value that unique ability of painting to occupy space, both real and virtual. We hope that this exhibition will be a reinstatement and celebration of the Power of Painting.

BEEP PAINTING BIENNIAL. 3 October to 11 November 2020

My painting, done on the day of the Brexit referendum result, has been selected for this contemporary international painting prize which supports imaginative and vibrant practice in contemporary painting. This was the first painting in which I used inverse colours. I have been experimenting further with inverting colour and you can see a selection of these paintings on a new page in the Gallery tab. As a taster for the exhibition, BEEP has been posting work on Instagram @beeppainting and, if you can't make it to Swansea, there will also be a programme of online events. www.beeppainting.com
