Behind the eyes; making pictures

[Gallery's description:] The exhibition features work from artists Lindsey Adams, Rebecca Fortnum, Beth Harland, Marc Hulson and Johanna Love. The project of this exhibition and accompanying symposium is to address something fundamental in the act of picture making: the transformation, or re-seeing of source image, into picture, through material process that practices of painting and drawing open up. The works in this exhibition are pictures that have a relationship with the photographic and other source images. They are concerned, in various ways, with the possibilities of re-making, or re-seeing recorded images that practices of painting and drawing open up. They engage with something behind, or beyond initial recording, with the distinction between capturing appearance, which might be very immediate, a moment (an image), and something that is constructed, involving another duration entirely (a picture).

Exhibition held at Gallery North, Squires Building, Sandyford Road, Northumbria University, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 8ST.
