This exhibition brings together the works of six artists all working under the
umbrella of painting. Their shared respect for the physicality of paint, leads
them to engage with the process of investigation of surface, form and colour.
All are concerned with the language of painting but this may manifest itself in
different ways. The relationship between the chaotic and the ordered
creates a decision making process which involves intuition and
concept this is evident as well as the physical and plastic qualities which
highlight the in-between and the object like.

This in turn creates an internal conversation that embraces the
viewer's contribution to the ongoing dialogue and invites inquiry
rather than occupying a position. Welcoming the subjectivity of the
viewer as if to elicit a conversation with the works internal life.
