As with our 2020 exhibition, It’s all in the Mind, the Welcome Swallow  Gallery continues to push the artistic boundaries of the imagination. Never more so than in the compositions presented here; ambiguous reflections and interpretations are suitably on display. With this exhibition, the gallery’s reputation for continuing to develop new art experiences, remains untarnished.

The title of this exhibition is Ambiguity. The strict dictionary definition of this word is, ‘the quality of being open to more than one interpretation; inexactness’. While this might form the basis of all human experience, an artist has the opportunity to create both a visual and a conceptual display that captures the antonym of photo realism where objects appear in form, as intended. In this exhibition we have broadened the traditional notion of ‘abstract art’ to include impressionistic works as well as figurative compositions that each admirably alert the imagination to a state of ambiguity. In this sense the exhibition stands at the crossroads of artistic commentary. Once art throws off the shackles of literal representation it is what you see that matters the most.
