Beams
Beams presents new works by abstract painters Loki Groves and Mitch Donaldson. With a shared interest in the material translation of light and atmosphere, their works traverse the divide between image and object and elucidate unseen structures and processes that permeate our reality.
Loki Groves begins each layer of his works on plywood with a network of coarse, incised lines. This ensures these sketches remain on the surface as his images evolve. Within and against these marks, abstract forms coalesce into imagined landscapes saturated with layers of transparent acrylic. These atmospheric veils of colour suggest parallel dimensions bleeding into and distorting our world whilst the physicality of Groves’ process renders these scenes in an uncanny realism.
Mitch Donaldson's paintings reconstruct observations from his walks around suburban streets and green spaces, meditating on overlooked, fleeting or out-of-place details. Overlaying three dimensional surfaces with fragments of striped canvas, Donaldson distils the visually inscrutable into statically charged, rhythmic compositions. While his works imply patterns and systems they employ collage and assemblage to disrupt and distort the image plane, thus capturing a surreal friction between nature and artifice, chaos and order.

Darkside of the Mirror
An exhibition exploring the Darkside. A search for the shadow self, the darker side of human nature, the contradictions of darkness and light.
Rejecting the mask of social acceptance that alienates us from society because our thoughts can’t change the reality of the world around us, even though it can change our thinking. (Catalogue extract)

Still Force
You are cordially invited to see the ‘Still Force’ art exhibition and interact with the artists who have used their talents to express their spirituality, suffering, loss, and victory along their most difficult and often deeply private and lonely journeys through life.
Through this special exhibition we are fostering a more compassionate society where all voices are heard and appreciated. We are embracing neurodiversity in the arts thereby creating a more vibrant and dynamic cultural landscape that benefits us all where we can share hope.
Art that was born out of suffering has power to connect with people, speaking to their souls in a way that words sometimes cannot. The paintings, poetry, a dance performance, and needlework will uplift spirits and extend comfort from one heart to another with messages of hope through the wonderful means of creativity.
