A Tale from the Sea

An exhibition of paintings and sculptures by Philip Osborne: a meditation on the sea and the experience of watching the sea.

The central theme of this show is humanity and the way in which art acts as a focus for thought, a focus that is generated by behaviour, actions and being.

“There is a special sort of awareness that comes with careful and concentrated viewing of nature; it is a meditation on a wave that matters, not careful reflection nor analysis - that is a later attribute of thought. The sculptures are works carried out as an affirmation of the beneficial effect of being near the sea shore. A meditative device, the sea allows for free thinking as a discourse and dialogue with oneself and water. This work is an appreciation without words of the natural phenomenon that results from the breathing in and out of internal/external perspectives in mimesis of the flow of tides. This is their story.”

Opening view: Tuesday 4 September, 6 - 8 pm
