The Garden Shed's Open Studio
Three artists explore intimacy, collapse, protest, and presence—through lipstick stains, giant flags, brooding skies, and bodily acts.
Date: Friday 29 - Sunday 31 August
Opening Times: 11:00 - 16:00 or by appointment
Location: 62 Earls Avenue, CT20 2HA
Probing the emotional, political, and physical edges of experience, this group exhibition brings together four distinct practices. Lipstick blotted on tissue becomes a monumental portrait of human touch; vast textile flags ripple with protest and personal symbolism; dark, fractured landscapes explore collapse, weather, and architecture while embodied performance gestures attempt to stifle screams by burying them in landscape.
Emma Coleman uses touch as a sensory starting point for intimate paintings of body parts, eyes & lips. A lipstick blot projected, painted, an eye explored in oil, sensual, not necessarily pretty.
Katrin Mountain works with fabrics relatable to and in constant touch with our human bodies - large scale flags, sculptures, cut-paintings.
Nerys Marshall paints dark urban landscapes & seascapes, compelling the viewer to respect the scale or power of nature beyond a façade.
