poster for "Conceptual Figures" Exhibition

This event has ended.

"Conceptual Figures" is an exhibition of new conceptually based figurative painting. The twelve artists in the exhibition are fusing two seemingly contradictory approaches to art, Conceptualism and Illusionism. Painting is approached as an intellectual construct rather than as a visual impression of a live model. This does not mean
that the resulting images are the product of rational thought. The current strand of Conceptualism reaches back through the pre-rational mind, becoming almost metaphysical.
