Splash, Drip, Throw, January 2022

WELCOME TO OUR GROUP EXHIBITION!

CURATED BY GITA JOSHI of THE CURATORS SALON

ABOUT THE EXHIBIT

Splash, Drip, Throw is a virtual exhibition centered around abstract art. The focus of this exhibition is to highlight artists using abstract visual language to convey ideas and underlying themes. Splash, Drip, Throw is not only composed of expressionists and action-based painters, but includes a wide range of artists using abstraction.

NOTE FROM THE CURATOR

Splash, Drip, Throw presents contemporary artists from around the world, employing an abstract visual language.

The show highlights the diversity of outcomes that can fall under the banner of 'abstract', as the exhibiting artists employ a range of approaches including splash, drip and throw. Mark making, and exploration of the materiality of the medium of paint are seen here, alongside pieces which have a less gestural, and more constructed appeal alluding to underlying forms.

The visitor is presented with art that is bold, gestural and colourful, alongside quieter, nuanced work that is sometimes monochrome. The show presents the breadth of abstract art being produced by contemporary artists today.

Andrea Mindel. I walk the Sussex Downsland. Leonard Cohen sings “Hineini, Hineini”. I stop. I look to the path behind me. I look ahead. I cry out loud. And then I cry some more. Not long ago and not far away. I remember. Every day. In each stitch a requiem. I cry for the animals burnt in the blaze of an arsonists flames. And one last time, before Virginia Woolf’s house comes in to view, I stand in the empty path and cry for humanity. I look at the map of the world showing which countries have vaccinated most of their people against Covid, and it looks like an essay in 18th Century colonial imperialism. “Who the fuck are you to be so privileged?” Mea Culpa.
