~ forthcoming exhibition ~

Sponsored by Edwards White architects, this will be the 39th exhibition held by the Welcome Swallow Gallery.

Design is universal to the human experience. Structure and design has always preoccupied artists. Examples of a church, a house and a skyscraper can be seen in Van Gogh’s The Church in Auvers-sur-Oise, view from the Chevet; Edward Hopper’s, Talbot’s House and Georgia O’Keefe’s Charnel House (see below). Whatever structures we witness, an architectural design imperative was established to enable their construction. The artists in this exhibition have likewise considered how these designs might be represented and appear to them. Reflective and representational insights emerge.

This also includes the artists’ choices as to what should be presented for viewing. Ancient Roman buildings, grand designs, rebuilds, contemporary structures as well as modest habitats and working spaces are all present in this exhibition. The junction between the aesthetics of these structures with the way in which they are artistically portrayed indicates that Design is Everything.
