Abstract Organics
Join us at the Exhibition Opening 6pm Wednesday 20th December '23!
Abstract Organics is an exhibition in the Side Space Gallery of Julia Castiglioni Bradshaw, Tim Price and Stephen Bond. Between them they have a litany of years experience wrangling divergent processes, ways and means of incorporating abstraction into artwork.
Abstract Organics attempts to create an abstract meeting space to show similarities and differences across a bountiful “Paella” of skills gained over years of focus, neglect and loss of memory.
Price’s Urban flattening of walls and streets to the canvas, Castiglioni’s essence of vegetable chopped up into an abstract pastiche and Bond's agonized organic sculptures from highly controlled action drawings all maintain vestiges of representational or “real” origins that prise their abstracified end products into existence.
Another important aspect that this show brings on stage is the use of motif, symbol or pareidolia. These strategies are employed thematically bringing rise to comments like “Is that a hare or a duck?” or “I’ve seen that Pacman motif on many a Persian carpet” or “That’s a nice coldframe of Zucchinis”.
Inevitably Abstract Organics provides a nexus from where viewers can learn about the wide world of abstraction and what things can evolve from a trio that have a long history of its use in their arts practice.
