Tue 17 Mar 2015 - Sat 18 Apr 2015 | Café Bar Gallery Nicholas Dietrich’s work uses the ambiguity of abstraction within the genre of still life. There are no objects before the painter, just pictures on a screen. Distant images of unfamiliar structures enter the authority of abstract space where different rules apply; they are simplified, flattened, suspended in mid air and given new colour as they interact with each other.
The forms refer to the influence of science upon our thinking in the last century, pushing out ideas of spirituality and theosophy.
Zanne Andrea’s sculptural assemblages and installations include items that are continuously arranged, layered and edited to explore the relationship between power, politics, history and memory. By bringing past, present, found and made together she considers how we negotiate and conjure meanings between image, object, colour, form and material.
