VEILED BLESSINGS by ROB BURTON
19th
- 26th Nov 2008
Private Viewing 19th Nov 7pm-10pm
Layers, veils that hide the blessings of a dancing god.
"He it is, the innermost one,
who awakens my being with his deep hidden touches. "
Rob's artwork discusses in colour and line the fluidity of the
veils
of our being. Fundamentally shapes appear; in the process they
grow and take on life, becoming living symbols that seem to have
floated in the consciousness for many years. From the interpretation
of the symbolic to the ritual of expression found within the sublime
moment Rob endeavours to capture in colour and light the unseen
energies that flow within and through life; inspiring, healing
and uplifting us to cosmic and universal consciousness.
Rob's work has developed over many years of practice since completing
his BA in Printed Textiles at Liverpool Polytechnic in 1987 and
in
1989 an MA in Textile Design at Birmingham Polytechnic. His work
covers the mediums of drawings, painting and textiles with outcomes
ranging from 2d works to evocative fabrics and cutting edge wearable
artworks.

SIMONE WALLACE
29th Nov - 20th Dec 2008
Closing night showcase 20th Dec 7pm-11pm
An exploration of deteriorating cityscapes which
are regurgitated as uniformed pulp noir drawings; suggestive of
graphic novels, they represent the slow-moving silent transformation
of the neglected.
'The intention behind the work is question our values of the old
and whether the mass production of taller much bigger buildings
will completely diminish and overpower the buildings with historical
values. It has become the ignored subject - an invisible world
which is the cause of overcrowded areas; deprived, broken and
mistreated.'
During the exhibition there will be a live drawing session where
the drawing develops over the three week exhibiting period. A
combination of documentary styles juxtaposed against the dark
and mysterious back streets of the urban landscape.
All exhibitions at the 491 gallery are FREE
to the community.

we offer, quite simply, a space for artists to canvas their message
