6–8PM THURSDAY 18 JUNE

 

The name for this exhibition arrived from the Buddhist term Ukiyo which expresses the notion of the fleeting nature of life or transient world reflecting the cycle of death and rebirth.

The concept behind these works is to represent the contrast between the permanence and transitional nature of the world, the passing of time. In both the paintings and sculptures there is a tension between the physical and the transient.

In the paintings clouds indicate the fleeting moments in the landscape showing the passing of time against the permanence nature of the land.

The sculptures indicate this contradiction through solid elements suspended – three dimensional mappings – not ‘stories’, ‘lessons’ or ‘reflections’ but investigations into the reality of form and impermanence.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS

Floating Worlds is a two person show – paintings by Jose Garcia Negrette and sculptures by Mark Coulston. Not a collaboration, rather two separate notions with an empathetic relationship in the work. Jose and Mark have exhibited separately over the years and have known each other from university days. The two have come together in this show after sighting a complimentary thematic connection in their respective art practices – to look into a world that is both familiar and unfamiliar at once.
